astrangerhere, but I didn't think it very good either. It's been a while since I read it, but the biggest flaw was the fictionalizing; it described people's actions in a fictional context that has no factual support - people smiling or tilting their heads and so forth, and, far worst of all, characterizing their thoughts. In addition, the author was prone to engage in hyperbole that got tired; the "smashed codes" of the title was done to death.
