Pre-booked the book at Flipkart. Ha paid 510/-
The book released on 14th May and I received on 17th may. Finished reading it today noon.
This is a Robert Langdon novel, those who have read Dan Brown previous know who Robert Langdon is. So the theme is pretty much same but the start and set-up this time is different.
The start is very much interesting which I must give credit to Dan Brown. Most famous books suffer from a shaky start but Dan Brown has mastered the art of a perfect start. The book though loses steam in the mid, I was getting at times bored with unnecessary info (at times vivid description of some structures) which had no impact on story or whatsoever. I know, in a Robert Langdon novel such descriptions are most important but believe me in this book few such things are irrelevant to the story.
The story picks up at the climax though. When I finished the book, I got a satisfactory feeling. But, the more time passes I'm starting to miss the book. I think this is sign of a good book which stays with you even when you've finished reading it.
If you are aware about Dan Brown's style, its a must read for you. And, its obviously better than "The Lost Symbol"

what is diff about the first chapter, no one gets killed in a spectacular way?
stopped reading after da vinci code, and few pages of lost symbol. if you have read digital fortress, is this better than that?
Reading this far I would not recommend this to you. But, I know you liked "State of Fear", so you should read this one too. But comparing with "State of Fear" its a boring book.dan brown trolled all his readers in da vinci code
the prologue "All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate." comes after the dedication, which makes it all fiction. all of it is.
the buildings are not located where they are in the book, the paintings are not in the places mentioned in the book. all the connections are fiction too. it's just a manufactured conspiracy, made plausible by references to made up historic things that are presented as "fact". start of the book, Les Dossiers Secrets, was a straight out forgery.
only problem is that he markets it as the truth, if he just said it was fiction it would be much better, but then all those connections would not have too much meaning.
still, for sake of digital fortress and deception point, gonna read this one too
Have you tried Dresden Files Series (Jim Butcher) or The Legend of Drizzt?
Finished changes by Jim Butcher. .reading wise men fear book 2 of kingkiller chronicle.

Which painted man are you talking about? If it's fantasy I think you are talking about The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett, if I were you I would stay away from this book, too many loopholes and cliches.Suggest some dark Fantasy/SciFi novels ?
