Morning Line

Just finished "Deception Point" by Dan Brown. Not a bad read, but somewhat predictable in spots. I've read "The DaVinci Code" and "Angels and Demons", and I enjoyed them for the rich history trivia that Brown loves to scatter within his books. Same MO here, mostly to do with NASA and Fed agency politics. All 3 books were quick reads, kept me interested to the end. They were all light in the human interest part, but Brown does his best to tie in the characters to the more interesting plot lines. I can see how Brown enjoys the research part of each book, and can't wait to share with others, but I can also see how difficult it can be to attach the good stuff to humans, to make the reader interested in the minutiae...
