I voted the Winter King too because I've read most of the other ones and it sound interesting.

Out of the choices I have read -- Life of a Pie and Angels & Demons. Loved Life of a Pie.

Angels and demons was all right for me, the best of Dan Brown for me is -- Digital Fortress. Somehow that book captured me even in my dreams, loved it.

I didn't like Life of Pi - so much that I stopped reading it.

Angels and Demons was great, my favorite by Dan Brown (I also liked Digital Fortress).

I LOVED the Kite Runner but thought that A Thousand Splendid Suns was even BETTER so I voted for the latter.

In all honesty, I'm glad Twilight's not on your list, haha.

I voted for Angels and Demons. It was great.

Too bad I don't see Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon. :/

If I had to pick between the two tied ones, The Winter King just totally catches me by the title.

I'd read it just cause of the title.

Around what page did you stop reading? Because it wasn't my favorite for the first 100 pages either, but then it got amazing and the last chapter makes the whole book worth it!

I voted for Life of Pi because I'm reading it already :P But I realize a lot of folks have already read it...

I'd be happy with any of the above...

Many thanks to the Visajourney community for all the help!
