Digital Fortress and the new series of Doctor Who

I finished the remaining book of Dan Brown's that I had left, Digital Fortress. I was rather disappointed by this book. It seemed to have a lot of potential at the start but it just got weaker as it went on. And how the "most brilliant cryptographic minds" couldn't work out the simple problem at the end when it was blatantly obvious I have no idea (note to self - remember it's fiction!). Not a patch on the other three books by him.


Saturday saw the eagerly awaited return of Doctor Who to our screens. Ok, so it wasn't the strongest episode, but it did have some fantastic lines (Oh no, I'm a chav!). Still, I think David Tennant has managed to step into Christopher Eccleston's shoes rather well, and I hope that the future episodes will have more strength to them just as they did in the last series. Having said that, it wasn't a bad episode. Well I enjoyed it anyway!

Deception Point

Finished Deception Point over the weekend. Again, quite a good book from the pen of Dan Brown. Whereas the first two books I read by him were a mix of science and religion, this one combined science and politics (US based). Another rollercoaster of a ride, far-fetched but a good, fun read. Just started reading the last of his books, Digital Fortress.
