"I first picked up a book called "Deception Point" because it's written by Dan Brown. And he wrote "The Da Vinci Code," which I really, really enjoyed. And then he also had written "Angels and Demons" which I picked up after that and I thought it was awesome. I thought it was actually a lot better than "The Da Vinci Code." So, I was really into that. So, I saw this book and said you know, let's try something else of his. A little bit of a different twist, though. It wasn't about the religion.
The "Deception Point" is about a discovery made by NASA, around the time of a fictional presidential election. And supposedly, they discovered this really big meteorite up near the North Pole. They go dig it out of the glacier and the big find is that it has extraterrestrial fossils. It's like oh, we discovered life on other planets, and it's all very exciting. And it's a whole twist and turns, did it really happen? And it ends up being a whole governmental conspiracy plot.
And I didn't enjoy it as much as the others. It left me wanting more, it kind of read like a bad crime novel. And it didn't have has many twists and turns as the other books I read from him. There was really only one sort of surprise in it at all. And it didn't do it.
I really actually didn't enjoy this book. And maybe it was just the expectation of having really enjoyed another one of his books and just so excited to read something else. This could have been written by anyone. But maybe it was just a matter of it was scientific and I'm not scientific. I don't know. But, I really didn't enjoy it that much. Out of five stars, one, maybe one and a half."
