DIGITAL FORTRESS by Dan Brown

Well, I ploughed my way through DIGITAL FORTRESS this weekend. It's formulaic like Dan Brown's other novels (ANGELS AND DEMONS and THE DA VINCI CODE) and the writing is pretty ordinary, but, boy does he know how to pace a plot and tell a story! Thanks to Frank Martin who suggested I read it in the first place. It's a little like a palate cleansing sorbet. Now I'm ready to tackle Tolstoy.
