Summary: Unbelievable nonsense
Comment: The book is a total nonsense. However, it will be a good source of amusement to anyone with a minimal background in computer science. You can find a plenty of gems to share with your collegues during lunch breaks, or to keep people awake during a boring technical presentation. Some examples:

- You cryptographers know nothing about security
- 64 bits are sufficient to store 64 characters
- ZIP is an encryption algorithm
- Transltr does not care about an algorithm once it guesses the key
- a program that DEVELOPED a bug
- million bits long encryption keys
- etc...

Summary: Digital dreck
Comment: Criminy, how I loathed this book. It was painfully predictable, cliched and soulless. Another Dan Brown book with a brilliant, handsome academic and his brilliant, beautiful partner solving problems no one on the planet could hope to crack. Sheesh. Although the basic plot is reasonably clever, the one-dimensional characters, banal dialogue and foregone conclusion of the book make it an irritating read. Halfway through it I was rooting for the professor to die and the end of civilization as we know it. Wasn't gonna happen, of course, but at least it might've been interesting.

Rating: 3
Summary: Nice and suspensful; the DaVinci Code it is not
Comment: This is a nice weekend mystery book. It touches upon interesting themes: (1) mysteries of the NSA; (2) supercomputers; (3) cryptography. Since those themes, are somewhat more "specialized" than the ones used by Dan Brown in "the Code" or in "Angels and demons" the book may not appeal to the same audience.
