I really like Dan Brown's books, what other books do you recommend?

Question

I've never really liked ready, probably because if the book does not get my attention right away I won't finish reading it. But I decided to read "The Da Vinci Code" and was absolutely amazed, then I read "Angels and Demons" and was blown away further, best book I have ever read. "Deception Point" was good as well. So what other books do you recommend?

Answer 1

Also read his book Digital Fortress (too bad he made so much money from Da Vinci Code that he hasn't written a book in years). Just as good as the rest. And you don't need to be a math geek to understand the fascinating plot.

Read some Daniel Silva books. A bit similar to Dan Brown books. Political intrigue, mysterious murders, etc. In Mark of the Assassin, the CIA must track down an elusive assassin that kills with 3 gunshots to the head. It is similar to Brown's books in that there is some romance (our hero is married and the villain as a female accomplice), and good character developement (backstories as to WHY these characters are the people they are).

Answer 2

I see another Daniel Silva fan here. Daniel Silva is better than Brown. His books are awesome. The Gabriel Allon series has a new one coming out this month.

I also think you would like Steve Berry. His Cotton Malone books are great too.

And Nelson de Mille has some great stories similar to Brown's. Wildfire and Nightfall are great but I love Up Country the best. Bought a first edition of it just today.

You would also enjoy Michael Connelly. His Harry Bosch books are terrific too.

And oddly, Dean Koontz has a couple books in the vein of the Da Vinci Code too. Try Dark Rivers of the Heart.

Dan Brown is a good jumping off point, but there are a lot of great thrillers in that vein out there. Enjoy. Pax - C

Answer 3

I'm not sure on the author... but it is the book that the movie "Sea biscuit" was made from.

first off, i don't think the movie was made yet, or i just didn't know about it. i picked up the book, and began to read it. it caught my attention... and kept reading. THAT, was a really good book. you have to read the epilogue... when you are finished w/ the last page of the story... really great book.

the book is about a horse... and a jockey that rides the horse. in the movie, it played out like the jockey was the main character, but in the book, it is almost from the horse's perspective. the author really emphasized Sea biscuits actions and feelings. the old guy that owns Sea biscuit is also a character.

and even still, if you watched the movie? the book is still 20 times better than that movie they made... any day. i would still recommend you pick up this book. I'm not sure how close it is to the Dan Browns books...i thought this book rocked, you just might also. :) TC

Answer 4

Another author I would suggest is Arturo Perez-Reverte. "The Flanders Panel" and "The Club Dumas" have the same sort of mystery puzzle style as "The Da Vinci Code." If you like that aspect of it, you might also like Katherine Neville's works such as "The Eight" or Umberto Eco's works such as "The Name of the Rose." Reviewers have taken to saying that Neville, Eco, and Brown make a trio of good reading. If you like one of those authors, you will probably like the other two. Some other books you might like are "The Dante Club" and "The Poe Shadow" by Matthew Pearl and "The Rule of Four" by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. All of these books basically follow the same theme of a race to solve a puzzle by following scattered clues and they are all very well written.
