Why should one read Dan Brown? - Part II

Like I promised in my previous post that I will be back with the remaining books of Dan Brown…

To everyone who hadnt read the first piece itself, you will find it here.

Anyways, I will definitely give a quick review of what I said in that article.

Dan Brown books can be broadly classified into two categories.

The first category is the more conversial kind; usually aiming at defaming some very strong beliefs of the world regarding religion. These include Angels and Demons, The DaVinci Code and The Lost Symbol.

However, I have already mentioned in detail about the three books and this category, so not being repetitive, let me move further.

Also I have already mentioned that this post is NOT about what Dan Brown is but I already love and adore the man's work… so this is just why I feel the way I do. Ofcourse, for I love his work, my judgement may be very much biased and there will be little or maybe none fall shorts… However, if ever you decide to look through my eyes, you will have some good points for as to why love the books!

Well, about the other category - this one is a little less controversy-creator for it is mostly scientific. Unlike in the first category, several things in these books are NOT known for beliefs or religious - facts. Rather, we have to deal with some scientific data.

Because of the scientific background, the characters are very intelligent and witty. They are more or less scientists and innovators who are determined to accomplish something…

There are three books in this category - Inferno, Deception Point, Digital Fortress

Inferno…

I chose to write about this book the very first is because this is the latest book out in the market and also that this book is seen as several critics as a repetition of previous works by the author and lacking anything new. To all those people, I dedicate the words I will write about this book!

Like I always say, Dan Brown books teach the way or the art of living… atleast to me, they do. Yes, even I do agree that moreover there is a single plot on which all the books are based on but there is something good each book has to teach us.

I started reading Inferno and honestly I was very excited about it before its release… I ordered a copy first day eventhough I was in hostel and couldn’t have read it then… As soon as I came home, I wanted to see it and wanted to read it right away but as I started reading it, even I was disappointed. Though it is a Robert Langdon series, but it is a lot different from the first three books.

The book starts with a confused and muffled Professor Langdon waking up in a hospital. He has no memory of the past few days and he also has a bullet shot in his head. While Langdon tries to figure out what is he doing in Florence and why is he injured, with the help of the young Doctor Sienna Brooks, Langdon finds himself as the target of certain people hunting him all across the city. He is in possession of a small projector depicting the Dante's map of Hell in some random manner. Now Langdon has a vision of death of several people and a lady urging him to help before its too late.

The poor professor, everytime he finds a new lead, he figures out that he had already ventured by him and there is some secrets that he had discovered which he now no longer remembers and he needs to find out again.

I really don’t want it to be a spoiler alert or a review on the book so I will not spill the beans, but yes I must say that in the 400 page long adventure, the first 250 pages are definitely NOT like the usual Robert Langdon books. They are all about how the poor professor is roaming all around and trying to connect the dots but the mystery unfolds in the next 100 pages where we actually find that there is no villain at all. The biggest enemy of human kind is another human itself. Yes, it is NOT about any religious controversy. Rather there are things based on scientific facts.

Honestly, this is Brown's first attempt to raise a social cause and alert people about what will be the consequences of our actions in a very thriller and mysterious way. You know it is like if Amitabh Bachchan will ask the people to go fishing, the number will be in crores who go fishing… Similarly, when there is a bestseller series book telling you something, there is a huge number of people who will be listening.

Not really stretching it so long, I want to add a little note for everyone who disliked the book and found it not upto the mark. I myself didn’t like the book based on the fiction thriller level but just think about it once people, who really spends an international bestselling book series to emphasis on such a relevant topic of overpopulation. I don’t want to go on about it, especially not in this article, but the truth is that whatever bad things happen around us are primarily due to the reason that there are too many people in the world and there arent enough resources for everyone. If we don’t check it, there will be some real problem for all of us. And therefore, on this serious note, I salute Dan Brown for his such a selfless act! Hats off sir!!

Digital Fortress…

Well this is not one of the Robert Langdon series and therefore not known to much people… infact if you say Dan Brown, people only recall The DaVinci Code. This and the latter are two of his lesser known books but none the less if you just read them, you will know that they are no less. Yes, being the first few ones is reflected in these books (just like it is in Angels and Demons) but if you just focus with the story, you are sure to like them.

Anyways, Digital Fortress is about some computer genius and how he sees the world. It doesn’t always require a Harvard professor you see and not always the villain is a lunatic. Here, a guy really suffered and lets say suffered in the worst possible ways and for no fault of his. And then he decides to take out his anger on anyone that he blames.

Okay, I read it once and that too a long time back so I don’t remember very well and not to the minutest of the details, but I remember enough to cherish it as one of the good books that I have read till date. And I remember it enough that I could tell you that you read it once and you will definitely have a good, maybe not the best, book in your collection.

Deception Point…

This is the sole book, apart from occasional dialogue by Robert Langdon, that makes me call Dan Brown's

writing as witty! At first this book comes out as some scientific journal sort of thing but eventually it takes a sharp turn into the political view. And from there we see how dirty at times politics can get and one way to survive in such kinds of politics.

Not wanting to really deviate from the topic but hey Politics is always dirty! And there is nothing wrong about fighting to win… rather, it’s the only way to win - fighting. And at times the cost or the resources of these fights are too high. However, I am totally against the kinds of fights where the costs are paid by the innocent like the people of the country.

Anyways, s'well, there are certain things the book states so bluntly that I had to reread those portions to be sure that I was correct. And in the end when the plot is revealed… to be frank, I didn’t really like it for it had 'fake' written all over it… no one in the real world would do that… but the imagination and the presentation were so gripping that it took just the climax of one book to make Dan Brown my most favorite author!

---

With this, I think I have done some justice, if not enough, to the great man and his greater writings. By this article, I just hope that you have a new perspective in your mind as and when you make your own view about Dan Brown books and even if a single person saw what I did; there is nothing more I would ask for!

And even if you didn’t like the books, I just say that reading is a wonderful thing to do… read them yourselves so you are the one who tells what you didn’t like about them. Even that would make me happy.

Happy Reading!

Why should one read Dan Brown??- Part I

This is not what you think… I am not at all trying to sell or endorse Dan Brown. Rather, if you have read my

'About Me', you know that I am a huge FAN of Dan Brown. Rather, I am ardent believer of his.

Therefore, this article is never about Why Dan Brown? But it is why I love his work!!

First things first, if you don’t know, which aint possible though, Dan Brown is the author of the very widely known, controversy struck and an international bestselling book - The DaVinci Code. *Applause*. Anyways, Dan Brown is the author of the male protagonist - Robert Langdon series - Angels and Demons, being the first, followed by The DaVinci Code, The Lost Symbol and now the Inferno, which on a totally unrelated note, I have finally finished reading. *Even greater applause*.

Well, if you ask me, I would say that Dan's work is mainly divided into two categories - one will be the exciting religious thrillers that are intended to reveal a lot of mysteries and give us bits of information here and there which often prove to be ground breaking. These definitely include The DaVinci Code, and like the example, each of the books in this category, which will be Angels and Demons, The DaVinci Code and The Lost Symbol, question the very beliefs of a person. They press certain things that we have believed for most part of our lives and then suddenly there is something revealed that forces us to question us our own belief. Often such books can create a worldwide controversy, like our very own DaVinci Code did.

The other category would be just-Thrillers, which do contain a very tight plot and talks about things we have never heard about but on the same hand, they are informative not faith-shattering. These are the light hearted, less talked about books which provide a constant source of interest, information and entertainment to the readers but they don’t challenge or annoy anyone in terms of their content.

These books are nonetheless witty and intelligent. They would contain - Deception Point, Digital Fortress and Inferno.

SPOILER ALERT : I will not leak out any story but yes this article might build in some opinion of any one or all of these books for you.

Having read all of the books, I find it only fair that if I say I am a fan of the intelligence in Dan Brown's writing and it has a little to do on the plot the book is based upon. Yes, the plot does matter, but for someone like myself, who has a limited exposure to the theories of the world, each of these books offers a new plot, a new world and a new story. Not a single book has left me more intelligent. Yes I agree, mostly all these books are about a guy who has very strong opinions and decides to change the world and then there is always a hero who is witty yet very good at heart who wants nothing more than his small life but ends up saving the world. But, let me also point out there within every story, there are several small stories that have a lot of impact on the teacher. In a way of saying, the characters are strong enough to influence and impact a very own personality of the reader. They make you think in a particular direction. Having read a lot of Dan Brown, there was a point in Inferno where I could speak out loud that I did definitely see a major twist coming but I guess Dan saw this even before and so he surprised the readers yet again with a double twist!

Now, if I have to be honest, yes I am a lot biased towards Dan Brown books. It is not because of whatever you might think but there is a single and simple reason behind it. They always leave me craving for more. Since I have put down Inferno, trust me I cant live a day without reading but then I am now reading Nicholas Sparks which leaves me more frustrated. No offense, I love Nicholas Sparks as well, but there is a certain thing about Dan Brown that leaves you on the edge whereas Nicholas Spark books are all good read and very easy with daily life. There is a little or no heart-shattering fact revealed. These are just nice romantic novels that make you love life and everything around you. Well, more about Nicholas Sparks books in what I will dedicate to him.

Here, I am just trying to provide you with why I love the books. Now, I could really have written a critic opinion but like I already mentioned, I am already biased towards Dan Brown, so there is a thin chance of that happening. Therefore, I thought I might write this only.

Anyways, the first category of the Dan Brown books which are like the Earth shaking religious treacheries revealing kind, are about people who know a little too much but they are so much blinded by their own knowledge that they don’t see the small obvious bits. And then starts their act of acting as the messiah to the world.

Ofcourse, then there is Robert Langdon… He's the perfect guy. Even though I love him, he's way too perfect to be real. Professor Langdon is a professor of symbology at Harvard. He is a bachelor and loves his life His most prized possessions include his collector's edition Mickey Mouse watch, his love for his subject and his bachelorhood. Unlike most people of his age, Robert likes to lead his life his own way. He's a very positive person, filled with life to the brim. And probably his this attitude and never ending spirit is what keeps him going even in impossible situations.

Well, all the three books in the first category are from the Robert Langdon series so, I can definitely write distinctly about Robert Langdon. But I would also like to give a little about what I think about the books.

The best first - Angels and Demons… the first book in the Robert Langdon series. Yes, I know that the book   but that I have three copies of the same book. I wont really say that it’s a journey to find the cardinals but its rather about the question - "Is God and Science ultimately two names for the same thing?". I enjoyed the book not because I am into science or into God but because the book had a great way of presenting it.

isnt as popular as The DaVinci Code but this is definitely my favorite book of all times and what more proof you need

Some people think science provides the answers and others just say that belief is the ultimate weapon. But the book was the first one to show me that the two are not different ways but just different languages. Rather, not only this, the book showed the perspective of both the sides , comparing and contrasting them before presenting us the final gist in the form of the words of the new Pope (in the book).

The other great thing that the book offered was that it showed how people confuse between faith and fear. Yes, I have strong opinions about this and that is for I find it true. People fear God. I have well, never feared him. Since I remember, I have argued with him; said he was wrong whenever I thought so; complimented him when something he created was worth the effort; thanked him whenever he was to be thanked… but never feared him. This is because I believe God is our friend. Even in the Holy Bible it says that God wanted angels to bow to mankind.

So yes, I love this book and no its not because it gave words to what I already felt; rather because it showed me the perspective.

Angels and Demons is definitely one book that people of any age can enjoy. It is book which would interest anyone and everyone. But yes, it isnt that popular because it never raised any questions on any beliefs.

The DaVinci Code - do I really need to write about this book?

Ofcourse, my blog so no one else will do that :P … Anyways, the book had been in so much controversy because it questioned the basis of Christianity and called them names - horrible ones. The book was not only filled with contradicting theories about the beliefs but it also told point blank range truths that raised a lot of fingers.

But that wasn’t really the point of the book, if you ask me.

To me, the book contained a deeper meaning. It was about how simple things could be and how complicated we choose to see them. The very idea that Jesus could be just like one of us and do things a mere mortal does, was enough to shake the belief of all the masses.

But trust me, there is one thing about the book - you cant read it without googling a lot of theories and things mentioned in the book!!

However, I would really like to mention here a thing that I have recently learned and that is - what an author thinks is one thing but to each and every reader the book contains an entire new world and it is totally on the reader how he/she infers it. No two readers might ever get the same inference...

However, having said that, this is my blog, so not being rude but still here, I shall right what I think about it.

If I were to sum it up, The DaVinci Code is a book that leads you through some very strong beliefs and shows how violent a person can be or to what extents is one willing to go to prove his own thoughts. Whereas, the entire picture might never be so complicated!!

The Lost Symbol… this is another beautiful book by again Dan Brown. It is all about the real knowledge of life. Again, I know what is said about Dan Brown books that moreover each and every one is the same... maybe, yes! They all teach something very important - to lead a simple life!

The Lost Symbol, like I mentioned, is about a journey taken by a person to gain the finest knowledge of the world. Towards the end, the guy, along with our Professor, only realize that there is nothing such as the supreme knowledge. God only has one manual to his wonderful creation - the Bible and it and only it will contain all his wisdom.

Anyways, the more reason for why I love Dan Brown books has been this category… but I will definitely write all I loved about the other books and be back in some other review soon ;)

'Knowledge' is food to soul

Some of you might have noticed (or would have known) that I read; as in read novels. To be honest, yes I am very much pro-reading and I do enjoying reading. All of it, makes me a real fan of reading. Nonetheless, the lazy I am, trust me I hardly spend time reading. I would waste time watching a movie over and over again but taking out time to read, phew! That's a hard one!
Well, part of me enjoys reading so much that it is very difficult to let down a book once it has me interested. Unfortunately, that part is very small. And so only a very small reason for me not being a regular reader is that I feel the need to finish a book as soon as it gets interesting and this hampers all my daily tasks and routines. Also, when a book end, the same little part inside me, it develops a strong hunger for more which would lead from a book to another and so on. But like I said, that part is small enough and majorly I am plainly lazy.

Dan Brown's all new Inferno

Remember: Only when you acknowledge a problem, can you solve it. If you keep denying it, you will never solve it. Thank God, I am not lazy to not recognize mine ;)

Anyways, so there is this book 'Inferno' by Dan Brown; the latest in the Robert Langdon series. Dan Brown is definitely my all time favorite author and no doubt, like every other book of his, Inferno has me gripped up real tight. Now the problem I face is a conflict between my laziness and my respect for the fantastic work. Every time I start reading the book, somewhere or the other I have to slow down or get a break. Then after the break whenever I start, out of respect, it so happens that no matter what I have to read from the beginning. After a few days again I meet some break. And so has this vicious cycle got me tangled in it. I have like read the beginning so well that I could even visualize the hospital, Dr. Marconi and the dress Sienna changes into. But it also kills me not knowing the end. Of course, I am an ending person. I just love to know the end. Its kind of reassuring that there is a 'happily-ever-after' :P.

 Today, I had nothing to do really and so I wasted the entire day. Towards the later part of the evening I thought to finish the book but then I had to again read from the beginning. So far, I have read like a good 270 pages of the book, 50 being the only new additions today but reading the book made me realize a lot of things.

SPOILER ALERT

There was a scene where the trusted contact of the provost turns out to be Mr. Ferris. And right from where Dan's introduced the man with rashes all over his skin, I just couldn’t get to leave guard of this character. When it was finally revealed, I nearly jumped in my bed starling my roommate and another friend in the room. Later, while the two of them played some typical hindi Bollywood songs and danced to the tunes, I found it harder to concentrate on the song than I ever had. It was like there was something about the book that had stopped my brains from registering the audio input. Like sound did fall on my ears but it didn’t get registered in the brain. I found no difficulty whatsoever in reading and it was then when I realized that knowingly or don’t know how, but reading has become a very important part of the person I am.
It got me thinking about what all changes I have felt since I have read; this post is the result.

Reading not only makes me a better listener, but like Richard Castle, of the tv series Castle, says that there is always a story. Reading makes you find that story. It gives your brain a good exercise. And like I said in the heading itself - "Knowledge is food to the soul". Not only you become clear with your thoughts and expressions, you start seeing the world differently. Reading gives you a whole new perspective. And well, there is always, it makes you better at the language. You get good with getting the meaning of the words as you read or what they call 'contextual vocabulary'. Moreover, if nothing, just read enough, you will definitely improve some vocabulary if not much.
Trust me, reading is an addiction. If you start once, it takes like the first 30 - 50 pages (depending on the size of the book) for the plot to unfold and once it does, and you get even slightly interested, trust me, you are just into a new world with people whom you didn’t know a couple of minutes earlier but now you can easily predict their actions.

Reading Inferno, I found myself laughing to all the witty humor, scared when Langdon makes allies with Ferris, skeptical with Sienna and moreover amused with what all the author can give you in just so few pages. Not only to Dan Brown, but this is a salute to all the authors who in a few pages, have captured a story that not only takes us to places we have never been to but also introduce people who teach us some of the very important lessons life has to offers; books show us things we would have never seen in real life, they tell the stories forbidden to be even whispered and all along have the power to involve us emotionally into itself while making it all very interesting.
I mean just WOW!!! Hats off guys and gals (authors)!! I totally salute thee…

There was a time when I didn’t read. When I look back to those days today, I get scared for what if I would be remained so adamant on not reading. The very thought is deplorable.

Okie, so I guess I have mostly said whatever that I desired and now there are like a little over 100 pages of the book still calling out to me and I wish to finish it today itself or else I would have to start all over ;)

But before I sign off, trust me guys, reading is very boring if you start today and it looks a waste of time if you just sit reading word by word. It takes a little time to get a hang of it but once you do, you are totally going to love it. Give it all the effort it takes but start reading. This is one free thing that just requires your time but gives a lot back!
