Deception Point - Dan Brown

I have always wanted to have the Dan Brown experience. A Best selling author of our times and I was yet to experience that in a book format. So , I took the recent one "The Deception Point" which is a thriller fast paced action novel based on the reviews and I pounced upon it.



The book sitting nicely on my sofa was bought from Flipkart and got the delivery within a day. Man are they fast or what. Just blitzed through the first 70 odd pages and true to the word, it was really fast paced and a lot has happened already.Introduced to a multitude of characters and the plot has already thickened.Can wait to finish the book.

Homeland is heating up !!!

After a very disappointing Season 3 the thrill and excitement of Homeland petered out atleast for me. So i didnt have high expectations for Season 4 but still went back to it just to relive the homeland phenomena and wondering how they will take the story after the death of Brody. Thankfully the child of Carrie and Brody was not the crux of this season but instead the troubling region of Pakistan and ISI. So far these 10 episodes I have seen seems to be recreate the magic the series created in the first season. The addition of "Ayan" - the life of Pi character was a welcome addition to this season and he has portrayed his role well albeit his character getting killed too soon for the season.

The confusing world of Pakistan intelligence and their ever unreliable allegiances is the crux of this season. This season also seems to draw inspiration from real life incidents like the Prisoner swap program and Benghazhi Embassy siege.10 Episodes in ,I can wait to see how this season ends, after almost killing off Sal in numerous occasions he has returned to US safely now we have to see whether Quinn can survive the ordeal which he has put himself into. Good job by the writers to being that first season suspense and thrill back.
