Rating: Summary: Angels & Demons Review: Dan Brown is at it again, some say that this book is full of mistakes and wasn't edited the way a book should be. But, looking beyond a few mistakes and you have a book that will hold you on the edge of your chair. A high tech thriller that seems to bounce from one place to the next keeping the reader holding on to book and finding it hard to put it down. A must read- Larry Hobson Author- The Day Of The Rose
Rating: Summary: Great book Review: I'm tired of seeing so many reviews from people who clearly live to find faults. I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a long time. A great thrill ride.
Rating: Summary: Beware the Illuminati book Review: This book is surprise after surprise after surprise -- but always presented in conversation. I haven't seen so much exposition since the movie Tora Tora Tora (which I actually like anyway). This book is a five hundred page repetitive cycle: personality-less people talking, teaching us some interesting history laced with a shocker or three; quick race against time to new location, arriving just too late; new person on scene inadvertantly, but luckily, provides a clue; lots more on-site educating and surprising.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Plot Review: I bought this book while I was reading " Da Vinci Code". When I finished with the code took this one and my though was that an earlier book of the "Robert Langdon" series will be no better the last one, but I was wrong, the reading in this book was far more supeior than the other. This is a "cat and mouse" run from start to finish, and your are hold in this religious plot, that holds you in the edge of your seat until the final revelation that is not even the peak of the mountain.Please is only a book for reading not for finding the errors of the author or locations that appear in the book. Reading should be fun, entertaining. If you liked the book, recomend the title to others, no spend your time in critics that make no sense, technicals details that most of the readers don't care about it.
Rating: Summary: I feel cheated! Review: I read this after I had read Da Vinci Code. I expected an interesting reasonably well-written page turner. What I got was a story that went from far-fetched to silly to utterly ridiculous. I wish I had my money back. More importantly, I wish I had my time back.
Rating: Summary: His best Review: Like many, I read THE DA VINCI CODE first, having been exposed to the hype. And while that book was very good, ANGELS & DEMONS surpasses it by miles. The writing, plot, and character-development (there are some of the same characters in DA VINCI as there are in A&D) is staggering and in my opinion, this is Dan Brown's best effort to date. Also recommended: McCrae's BARK OF THE DOGWOOD
Rating: Summary: absolutely amazing! Review: this is the blah blah blah blah. I thought it was very blah. Sometimes the blah blah was too blah. However, the blah was overly blah. My favorite part was when the blah went to the blah and blah blah blah. Oh yeah, and blah!
Rating: Summary: not deep or complicated........ Review: Dan Brown.......you read the name and think of a unique blend of a little fact, a lot of fiction, an unbelievable pace and characters, that while never deep or complicated are never the less fun and interesting. In Angels and Demons the plot revolves around a Swiss scientific research laboratory, the Vatican, an ancient brotherhood and the attempt to bring down the Catholic church. Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor of "symbology", is drawn into the tale and the result is a fast paced story of murder, love, deception and intrigue. This is a fun, quick read that suspends reality.
Rating: Summary: BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ Review: I have read the other book of Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code, before this one. People discovered this book after the popularity of The Da Vinci Code. But this is the first adventure of leading character of these two books, Prof. Robert Langdon. What can I say ? Just a great book ! For me much better than Da Vinci Code ! Once you start the book, you will never leave it. It is sure that author has spent a lot of time on the places where the story goes on. All places are real. I also recommend you to take a look at the author's webpage www.danbrown.com before you start to read this book. In this website, you will find the real pictures of these places and some objects mentioned in the book. But before you go, if this review was helpful, please do not forget to vote "helpful" for me. Many thanks...
Rating: Summary: Is There Less Than One Star? Review: To begin with, I will confess that I am only less than 50 pages into the book. Appalled at the quality of the writing, I promised that I would give it 50 pages to improve, since its popularity must surely indicate that there is something to it. Other reviews have mentioned that the characters are one-dimensional, but "cardboard stereotypes" seems more accurate. Maybe this started life somewhere as a comic book, and, if so, should have stayed there.
