Review Quotes: "Intellectual fuel. . . . [The Secret of Secrets is] a wistful testament to the power of the printed word."--The New York Times
"Like so many things that are insanely popular. . . . Brown's thrillers look easy to imitate but aren't. He shatters dramatic moments into shiny, irresistible shards. . . . Dan Brown clearly had fun writing his new book. It's contagious."--The Washington Post "A master of the brainy, twisty thriller. . . . [Dan Brown's] novels move with kinetic energy, his plots are intricate puzzles shrouded in religious iconography [and] ancient cryptography. The Secret of Secrets is perhaps his most ambitious undertaking yet: a dense thriller that is also a meditation on the nature, and the possible future, of human consciousness."--Los Angeles Times "A new Dan Brown book has the ability to make you happy about inclement fall weather so you have an excuse to just stay home and read. . . . The story is so riveting you'll want to clear your calendar."--USA Today "Brown's talent for assembling research is also evident in this novel's alter ego as a guidebook to Prague, whose history and attractions are described in great and glowing detail. . . . There's no shortage of action, derring-do, explosions, high-tech torture machines, attempted and successful murders, and opportunities for split-second, last-minute escapes. . . . A standout in the series."--Kirkus ReviewsPraise for Dan Brown "Dan Brown is the master of the intellectual cliffhanger."--Wall Street Journal
"Brown is a master of the breathless, puzzle-driven thriller."--Richmond Times-Dispatch
