I'm sending the book off to bookharlot in North Carolina. Enjoy!
Received in the mail today. Can't wait to start reading it! :-)
Once I finally had a chance to sit down and read this during a busy November, it went very fast. Already a fan of Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" and "The DaVinci Code," this book didn't disappoint me. It was fast paced and exciting and I enjoyed reading it.
I am SO sorry for slowing this ring down. I thought I had mailed it with my Christmas packages but just found it. *blushes*
I put it in the mail today to the next person. Again, I'm so sorry for any inconviences.

Rec'd in the mail today! Thank you so much! Daddy i Libri and I will both read this one, and then send it on to the next person! Now, It gets a free ride to the TOP of the To-Be-Read pile.
Added 3-3-05: Started reading today, expect to be done after the weekend! Already halfway through.
Added 3-4-05: "SLEONE" has asked to be skipped, as they rec'd the book from another book crosser. Have contacted "SDKELLEY" for their address to send it along next ...

OK, finished! This was a fairly decent book, but with too many twists and turns! Seemed a concentrated effort to keep us interested in a story that would have been rather uneventful ending otherwise, and we both figured out the secret code! LOL! Sent to the next person in the Book Ring: SDKelley from Missouri 3-30-05 via media mail. Happy Reading!

I received this today & hope to start on it shortly!
This was a great action-filled read. I will be mailing it to the next person as soon as I get her address!
Will be mailing to BiancaChristine on Saturday!
Can't wait to read this book. I've enjoyed Brown's other books (Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code). I'll be starting this (right now) as I take my lunch break!
Caught it safe and sound in Brooklyn. Perfect timing as I just finished a book I was reading. :)
I liked the book. It was a little confusing for me sometimes with all that computer talk, but I still liked it. I'm surprised it took them THAT long to find that kill code. I picked up on it right away. But, that's how books are...:)
Thank you for including me.
This book is on its way to ResQgeek

Arrived in the mail yesterday. I'm almost done with my current book, and I'll read this next.
What would happen if everyone suddenly had access to an unbreakable code? This is the nightmare scenario that the National Security Agency (NSA) faces in this lightning-fast thriller. The NSA is tasked with breaking the codes of the nation's enemies to protect the nation's security. When a new, supposedly unbreakable code emerges, the NSA races to recover the security codes to keep the code a secret. From the streets of Seville to the NSA headquarters, the tension builds as time runs out, until a climax that almost destroys the nation's security forever.
Dan Brown writes with authority, and much of what he describes is quite believable. Unfortunately, the climatic ending turns out to be the weakest part of the story. In order to build the tension, Brown's characters, which to this point have been portrayed as quite intelligent, suddenly develop an epidemic of stupidity. Their inability to solve the final riddle quickly actually detracts from the impact of the conclusion. Otherwise, this is a thrilling story, the book equivalent to the summer blockbuster movie: Full throttle entertainment, but very little depth.

I just got this from the mail, thanx SqueakyChu & ResQgeek, I'm looking forward in reading it, I loved the Da Vinci Code and I'm reading Angeles y Demonios. Will try and read it fast, and then release it to the otherbookcrosser in line. Obrigado. See ya.
p.S. Loved the postcard from Alexandria, Virginia, by the way.

First of all I must apologize for taking so long with this book. I simply loved it, but I have to practice on my english because of all the computer terms I found on this book. I've found all the Dan Brown books very captivating and every chapter leaves you intrigued to read the next one. I'm not going to tell you about the story, due to spoilers, but the narrative is well constructed and the suspense is high. Not as good as Da Vinci Code though, with all the computer terms, but I loved it. I will be sending this to the other bookcrosser in line == QueenSissi ==. PCSAF is unavailable at this time to read it. Thanx again SqueakyChu. :)

Got here yesterday. Thanks!
I think this one was more interesting than the others "well-known" books by Dan Brown.
The idea of my emails and messages being read by the NSA is kind of frightening, though I'm afraid they'd be bored to death...
Nevertheless, I do enjoy privacy and I just hope this is just a novel.
Thanks and moving it on this week...
News 17/12/05 - Dodau asked to be skipped so I'm wainting for Pink's address.

I got the book yesterday but I was too busy with my exams to make a journal entry...As a fan of Dan Brown,I really look forward to reading it..I'll begin it when I finish my current reading...Thanks!
I'm just about to finish this one,but I'm going to need one more week..Sorry for going so slowly but as a students I had exams and as well I had some rings before this one..
The 4th book by Dan Brown I read..It was very good when talking about entertainment,but if you've already read the other books by this author,you'd have understood how I feel..Dan Brown writes using a recipe.I mean that he uses the same techniques of attention grabbing in every book.Just don't read them one after the other, because you will get the feeling that you are reading the same book, only with a different plot and slightly different characters.All the above are true for Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code too, but I liked these a bit more because of the art history references.

Have just finished another ring book 'The Secret Life of Bees'. So I started this book last night. I think I will enjoy this as much as the other two that I have read.
It's quite a big book, but think I can read it in between 1-2 weeks. But will keep you posted.

Have finished!!! I loved this book...as I thought I would! It is so easy to dip in and out of it with it's short chapters. It kept you in suspense just like the rest of his books.Someone has just sent me a RABCK Dan Browns Deceoption Point!! Think I might read that next!!
The Da Vinci Code has just come out in the cinema in the UK so I am hoping to go and see that in the next couple of weeks.
Am sending this on as part of the 2006 Keep Them Moving.

was on my desk at work today i've not been in the office at the hospital since last Monday so it's probably been there a few days.
My colleague advised me just to pass it on without reading as it's pants and then he went into computer speak about everything dan Brown got wrong.
But I'll make up my own mind just finished my last ring so will start this tonight

Journal Entry 34 by vicar-of-dibley from Aberdeen, Scotland United Kingdom on Saturday, June 3, 2006
i kept on trying for a bit but i just won't subject my poor brain to this anymore and i'm passing it on mostly unread. i found it to be old lady pants with skid marks, sorry. I've pm'd the next person on the list to take it away asap
Received the book a week or so ago and am sure I registered its' arrival, but apparently not. Ho Hum thanks VoD.
I have now read three of Brown's books and this is the second turkey. It is simplistic, far fetched and has far too many coincidences to be believable. I found his descriptions of Spain and the Spanish at best insulting, at worst racist. He does have a market available though for chewing gum for the brain. As long as you don't want to think about what your reading then this is a very easy one day book.

i've done reading the book. enjoyed it! pm'ed LauMaia who is next in the list already. waiting for an address.

Arrived here yesterday, thanks. Looks like this book gets to travel more because I'm heading on a 6-week trip to Italy today. When I'm finished this book though, I'll send it from there.
Pretty good, but not as good as The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons . There were a lot of twists and the ending was ok.
I PMed the next person on the list and waiting to hear back from them.

This book arrived in the mail today. I am in the midst of trying to get thru the Harry Potter books and another series. I will sneak this one in next week and send it on it's way. By the way, this book is getting a bit worn from it's travels. It's still readable, but looks loved. I will post later.
Chubsiewhubsie wanted to be skipped so I have contacted Squirrel818 to see if she is still interested in the book.
I have sent two p.m.'s to Squirrel818 for her address and so far no answer. I will assume that this book ray has ended with me. I will read it and pass it on. It may take awhile as I am reading Harry Potter(the whole series) for the first time. I am also trying to get thru Sujata Massey's series.
If I hear from Squirrel818 in the meantime, I will read it quickly and send it off.

I finally got to this book. I didn't feel that it was as good as his later ones. I am contacting people who have this on their wishlist to see if they still want it. So far, no takers. If I don't get an answer back in a week or so, I will wild release it.
Caught the book in my outpatient lobby.
