Summary: One of the Best Books of the Decade
Review: ~The first book of the Robert Langdon series by Dan Brown has recieved phenominal reviews and is personally my favorite book. ~As Robert Langdon a Harvard Religious Symboligist Professor recieves a strange call from an advanced European Science Reseach Center called CERN. They report a fellow scientist was murdered by the satanic cult the Illumnati (a cult missing for more than 500 years). As he discovers that the illumnati has stolen a weapon more powerful than a nuclear warhead and planted it in the Vatican, it is a race to find the stolen religion and prevent the annihlation of the Cathlic Relgion. ~This book is just as addicting as the Da Vinci Code and Dan Brown is in the works of two more Robert Langdon novels taking place in London and Washington D.C. ~A Must Read Book!!!

Summary: dan brown fans will love this book...
Review: a bit disappointing how the plot structure parallels the da vinci code (i guess it should be the other way around being that angels and demons was written first). but you will get the same thrills, an original storyline, a page-turning thriller, edge of your seat action combined with intelligence. this book was predictable, but overall, you wont be disappointed.

Summary: Did Illuminati kidnap the real Brown?
Review: The Dan Brown of "Angels" is a far better writer that the hack who ground out "DaVinci Code," making me wonder if the real author got a little close to the conspiracy. . .Seriously, "Angels" is a fun read, and actually goes into some depth about Vatican history, Italian art and the tourist traps of Rome. The plot takes some nice twists, and pops some genuine surprises on the reader. Excellent villains as well. The only similarities to "Code" are the cardboard cutout heroine and convoluted conspiracy that stinks of anti-Catholic bigotry. Come on, if the Vatican were that powerful, there'd be no abortion clinics to picket or priest-abuse scandals to read about. Perhaps if Brown takes as much care with his next novel as he did with this one, he can regain his literary self-respect after the "DaVinci" farce.

Summary: BETTER THAN THE DA VINCI CODE.
Review: Although I myself bury myself in the classics + drama when I enter bookstores, this has to be ranked with my favourite pieces of 'literature'. It's everything Da Vinci Code is not. 'Tis riveting, enthralling, intelligent, exciting, suspenseful. Mostly, anything that a book strives to be. Never have I so often desired to read a fictitious book to engorge myself in facts. Under Botticelli, Raphael would be my mos preferred reniassance artist, although he's one of the most known. The time frame of the novel in itself is enough to keep the reader's interest perked--less than 10 hours until the Vatican explodes to nothing but debris. Dan Brown has created quite a character with Langdon. Perhaps his beaming intelligence, his all-too-present accumulation of knowledge, or the fact that his role is drawn out to perfection. He's a rational, cool-tempered Harvard prof. who is exactly what this book needs. Vittoria is the polar opposite of this. I wasn't too fond of her character herself, and quite honestly I wrinkled my nose at the thought of the far superior Robert and her romancing. No less, it's by no means an overwhelming love story, and is incredibly underrated. Not to mention...geez. I don't think I've ever learned so much by reading a novel. Whereas Da Vinci Code is laden with error, this one is clearly well-researched. It also, in odd ways, opened my mind to the bridge of religion of science. The argument is subtle, but it strengethened the debates I'd have to come with others. The ending is also nothing you'd expect it to be. Never have I thought so much after reading a novel. Whether you're interested in religion, art, physics, history, or you simply want to read a good book, pick this up.

Summary: Absorbing and Preposterous
Review: The plot is preposterous. I can't tell you why unless I give it away. Notwithstanding the ridiculous plot, the book is well-written (moreso than the clunky _The Da Vinci Code,_ in which Brown writes lines like, "He quickly severed the connection," instead of "He hung up"), fast-paced, and tightly plotted. This is a good read, and Brown gets more of his facts straight than he does in _Code,_ in which he makes awful mistakes such as claiming the vote at Council of Nicea was "relatively close" (it was 300-2), and that five million witches were burned (best estimates are 50,000 to 100,000, with 25% being men). When Brown makes mistakes like that, it's best to take anything he writes with several large grains of salt. His books are so absorbing, even with the glaring errors, that I understand why they are best-sellers. Just don't take what he writes all that seriously.

Summary: Unbelievable but Fun
Review: You can tell he is an excellent writer because he takes a few facts, twists them terribly but in such a manner that most people will actually believe the yarn he is telling is true or based on truth.

Summary: a fun book
Review: This is a fun book, a quick read. It gives you the feeling that you are reading something intellectual, but you really aren't. I enjoyed it, but the last sentance almost ruined the whole thing for me, 'cause it was so hackneyed.
