Summary: Absoultey Irrestable..... and AWSOME READ
Review: Once again we meet with Harvard symbol gist Robert Langdon in Angles and Demons written by the famous Dan Brown of The Da Vinci Code. Mr. Brown takes us to the Swiss Conseil Europe`en pour la Recherché Nucl`eaire where a murder has taken place and a canister Antimatter is stolen, there is an assumption of an ancient brotherhood called the Illuminati could be on the up rise. It is up to Robert Langdon and his female companion Vittoria Vetra to save the Vatican from destruction and save the lives of four kidnapped cardinals as well. It was so hard to put this book down. Dan Brown has you hanging on by the edge of your seat with all of the events that keep on popping up at the turn of every page. It is interesting how Mr. Brown mixes the worlds of religion and science together in a book. The book relates to how the Catholic Church was against Galileo's theory of how the earth rotates around the sun and they didn't want to have people disregard the church. If there is a book that you really want to read, I strongly recommend reading Angels and Demons. It starts off like The Da Vinci Code, but once you get into it you will be engulfed by the events that come along. I enjoyed this book so much that I am going to read it again, because it was good that I forgot most of the events that happen. I hope that this has been helpful and that when you read it that you enjoy it more than I did when I read it.

Summary: Fascinating and suspenseful read
Review: If you are going to (or have) read The Da Vinci Code, you have to read this book as well. Both books follow the same style in how the plot unfolds and how the reader is drawn into the dramatic conclusion. And, while the style and form are not particularly original, the author's use of symbolism and religious factoids make it far more interesting than other books of the same genre. It's definitely a can't-put-down-page-turner. So, be sure to find yourself some "free time" before you dive in.

Summary: When story telling skill and insight are combined ...
Review: Expertly woven story, a real page turner. At the same time, the author is able to insert history and philosophical arguments -from both sides of the equation - without breaking the continuity of the story but rather enhancing it. What a master of story telling! What great insights into religion and history!

Summary: Wow -- an E-ticket ride!
Review: Reading this book was something akin to riding a roller coaster for the first time -- no -- more like riding the Space Shuttle for the first time! It's a phenomenal mystery story -- a thriller in every sense; but even more than that, it's a highly intelligent weaving of intricate details that come together in a way that no mind but Dan Brown's could ever have imagined. I haven't been so delightedly surprised by a book in a long time. I was very pleased with it and decided to join in with many others in praising it's delights. I do have to say that the general tone of the book was dark and that some of the images were disturbing, but the premise was mesmerizing and it stretched my mind in directions I never thought possible. DO read this is you love a good puzzle and enjoy great endings. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Horrid
Review: This is some of the worst prose you will ever read. Does anyone else detect the not so subtle tone of racism directed at Arabs in this book? Avoid at all costs.

Summary: Angels & Demons
Review: Loved it, Loved it! I read it as a prelude to The Davinci Code, which I am reading now. As a Buff on QM & the nonsense put out by the Cathlic Church, I was already familiar with the Illuminati. A Cathlic myself I know the Church is not all nonsense, but they never give you a chance to make up your own mind, since they have decided what information to publish and what to squash. But, I digress from the book, which is thrilling, entertaining & enlightening. I particularly appreciate the fact that Dan Brown preludes his book with letting you know what is fact and how much is fiction. I found myself going back and referring to this several times. I was surprised to learn that CERN has actually produced anti-mater.

Summary: Great Thriller
Review: Wow!!This book is so good I read all 500 or so pages within a week. There are no boring parts in this entire books even the first page is exciting because this is when the murder takes place. Dan Brown really knows what he is doing judging on his style of writing and ability to make people like myself understand many complicated things. The ending is what I like the most though, I did not see it coming at all. You see a definate change to a certain character and it will shock you I gaurentee it!! You have to read this book, it is just as good as the Da Vinchi Code which is getting more attention then this.

Summary: My favorite so far!
Review: I read this before reading the Da Vinci Code. It still remains my favorite of his books. The perfect mix, James Bond and Indiana Jones! Write more soon Mr.Brown, we are on the edge of our seats waiting to see what is next!

Summary: Great book! Dan Brown is really establishing himself
Review: First let me caveat you...I read this after reading "The DaVinci Code". That was the first of his books that I had read, and it is actually the sequel to this one. It is because of the order of reading that I am giving only 4 stars. I didn't think it was quite as good as DaVinci, but nearly perfect nonetheless. Brown again crafts a masterful story here, centering on the mysterious underbelly of the Catholic church. As in the DaVinci Code, Brown goes out of his way to weave a ton of research and "fact" in with a fantastic and gripping murder mystery. Someone is on a rampage in Rome, killing bishops as he goes, and it's a race against time to catch the killer before he finishes his job. The central character, an intelligent symbologist from Harvard, finds himself completely out of his element but rises admirably to the occasion. Langdon (the character) is identifiable in a way that makes this story more about the story than about the character, that is, the hero is not larger than life, which enhances the way the plot plays out. Pick this up, with the DaVinci code, and you won't put them down!

Summary: Thrilling!
Review: This was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I can not remember reading a book that was as exciting, original and intelligent as this one in a very long time. I highly recommend this book. It is a very fun read, and it makes you think. And the funnest part of all is that the book consistently surprises you all the way up to the end. Great well developed characters, original story, fast paced, intelligent and un put downable! Read this book, I promise you will love it.
