Writing quality is often perceived to be less important for 'genre' books, where plots and settings play a more important part. But even a 'genre' book needs to have a modicum of quality. Sadly, 'Digital Fortress' does not. It's the debut novel of Dan Brown that has been re-issued due to the phenomenal popularity of the [[''The Da Vinci Code]] '' and it is a blatant, mercenary and seemingly successful attempt to discount that popularity and generate some more revenue from a an earlier effort.
'Digital Fortress' is a thriller and thus I'd better start with a bit of plot. The plot is just about the only saving grace of the novel, and the factor that earns it its only star above one.
All in all, waste of time unless you have absolutely nothing else to read. And are very, very bored.
You might enjoy [[The Tower by Alessandro Gallenzi]] - it's a little better than ''Digital Fortress'', which we're going to shelve alongside [[The Gaudi Key by Esteban Martin and Andreu Carranza]].
