Summary: The Horror and The Hope
Review: This book was an excellent read; suspenseful and intelligent. The story itself was over the top, but somehow Brown manages to maintain the readers suspension of disbelief.I have no doubt that a great deal of his success stems from the exhaustive research that he put into the book. He deals with little known information about CERN (Conseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nucleaire), anti-matter, the Vatican and the Illuminati without dropping the ball. Aside from actual plot, this novel is a fascinating read because of all the intriguing factual information you are given through the narrative. Brown also manages to keep you guessing. Though I figured out certain elements long before they were revealed, there were still surprises waiting for me at the end. I highly recommend this one and I will no doubt be picking up his new release, The Da Vinci Code, in the future.

Summary: Another excellent religious thriller from Dan Brown
Review: Angels and Demons is another excellent thriller from Dan Brown, the author of the Da Vinci Code. Once again, Harvard symoboligist Robert Langdon is the hero. Called in the middle of the night, Langdon discovers that a weapon more powerful than anything ever before invented has been stolen from CERN, a small city of scientists always working to further science. Upon arriving there, he discovers that this weapon, antimatter, has been placed somewhere in Vatican City and is set to go off in less than 24 hours. To make matters worse, the Pope died only 10 days ago and now all the cardinals are in Vatican City to elect a new Pope. I won't go into much more detail, but this is a great story. At points in the plot, it borders on ridiculous, but it still a great read. Brown combines an ancient enemy of the Catholic church, the Illuminati, kidnapped cardinals, a weapon more powerful than anything ever seen before, a deadly assasin, and so much more. Rather than give anything away, I will just say that this book is well worth a read. Do not miss Angels and Demons! If you do like this book check out The Da Vinci Code. It has a similar feel, but not as much a thriller as just learning something new about an accepted belief in the Catholic church. Each and every time Dan Brown is able to combine numerous storylines and countless characters to make another fantastic story.

Summary: Da Vinci it is not
Review: I read this after having read the Da Vinci Code. It was not as good or as compelling as The Code but it was a cut above most in this genre. Mr. Brown offers us thrillers with a brain. Enjoyable read.

Summary: Excellent!!!
Review: With 200+ reviews before me, I don't have too much to add. This was a fantastic book -- one of the best suspense books I have read in a while. The characters were engaging and interesting and the plot made me stay up late into the night to finish the story. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Mixed Bag
Review: No question that it is a good exciting read. But, you have to ignore or read over the heavy religious sentiment and "miracles" to enjoy this book, which tend to drag it down. Disappointing after having read "Deception Point" by the same author, which is an outstanding book.

Summary: Another GREATstory from one of America's greatest writers
Review: I have to admit I got hooked on Dan Brown's work purely out of luck. I read The DaVinci Code first, and couldn't put it down. I immediately logged in to Amazon and ordered all his other books. Although I'm not the most religious person, I still found the story captivating and loved the characters. I thought the story dragged just a little in one or two areas, but not enough to detract from the overall power of the story. Dan Brown truly has a gift for taking the reader for a ride they don't want to get off of. Can't wait for his next novel! If you haven't already read his other works, buy them NOW, you won't be sorry later!

Summary: Loved The DaVinci Code - this one, not so much.
Review: After reading The DaVinci Code, one of the most entertaining, historically interesting and cleverly written books I've ever read, I was eager to read Angels and Demons. Angels and Demons is a prequel to The DaVinci Code however, the main character is much less likable in Angles and Demons and the writing/story line is less sophisticated. This book is entertaining and interesting in the same vein as The DaVinci Code, but I personally found it to be way too violent and had to put it down about half way through it (could not bear to read about another detailed, gruesome killing!).

Summary: WARNING! Will not work on Pocket PCs
Review: After literally 2 hours of download hassles and reading Adobe's customer support forums, I discovered that the Ebook I purchased from Amazon CANNOT be read on my Pocket PC that has Adobe Acrobat on it! Adobe Acrobat does not support ebooks for Pocket PCs. Amazon's web site should CLEARLY state this fact. I wanted an electronic version of this book that I could easily take with me. I have no intention of reading it at my PC. DO NOT buy this e-book or any other Adobe E-book if you plan to use it on your Windows Pocket PC!

Summary: Angels & Demons
Review: Merely a suggestion: go to Dan Brown's website, he gives you the opportunity to read a 5 or 6 chapter excerpt from each of his books. Then you can actually decide for yourself whether or not you are interested in coming back to Amazon to purchase a book.
