Mostly a great writing style, combined with fake philosophy - at page 100 of almost 1000 I am not sure if I want to read on. It is partly very witty, partly uninteresting (weirdly artistic à la Paris 1920-friends in cafe having weird discussions, with illogical bonmots etc). Also illogical emotional decisions (after having escaped a car accident and a nasty mob Lin decides that yes, NOW he is sure, he has to emotionally dive into this place.)
Uh, hello?
So yeah, I am getting annoyed.

Not done yet, but as usual Dan Brown tells a thrilling story, easy to follow, sometimes fun - but with holes. Weak spots in his plot spoil the suspension of disbelief. For example: how Sexton’s assistant gets back in line after having witnessed Sextons betrayal and knowing about the financing of his campaign. And how can she enter a fully secured NASA-building? Etc etc.
The oceanic eruption at the end is too spectacular, almost silly.
Good plot twist near the end, though.
3 for credibility, 4,5 for telling a thrilling story.

Good plot. Somewhat too long, or rather, nothing much changes in the case for too many pages.

Fantastic author, but could not stomach the subject matter. DNF.
