Angels and Demons Reviews

Angels and Demons was actually written and published by Dan Brown before the world was introduced to The Da Vinci Code.  It follows Robert Langdon (same main character from Da Vinci Code) from his New England bed for a 5:15am phone call from Geneva, Switzerland to a midnight explosion in Vatican City.  A physicist is murdered and branded with the symbol of a secret society that was long thought to be defunct.  Langdon is an expert on The Illuminati, so he becomes entangled into the action.

After reading The Da Vinci Code, I was thrilled to learn that there was a "prequel" - Angels and Demons.  The lead character was just as compelling in this book, and it was a bit easier to follow the twists and turns.  What made this an even more compelling read for me was that I was reading it at the same time of the death of Pope John Paul II.  So the book, which gives an insider's view of the goings-on at the Vatican after the death of the pope (albiet, with a good does of mystery added) made me feel a part of the real-life proceedings. A great story that is even better than it's more famous...

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown is a must read. Once I started it, there was no stopping. All I wanted to do was keep reading and I never wanted to put it down, which was hard considering I have a toddler. If you are the type ofperson who likes to read action packed, mysterious, and controversial books, then this is it my friends! I definitly give this book the highest rating. Now all I am waiting for is to go see the movie, so anyone who agrees with me on the book, please write me and let me know what you thought about the movie. I just hope that everyone enjoyed the reading as much as I did!

Dan Brown's Angel's Vs. Demons is a great suspense packed Novel! First of all the title alone was very appropriate for this novel. I like the metaphoric referral of the Catholic church and those who believe in God to be Angels while scientist's and athesists are considered demons as they defy the church and it's teachings.

I must say the book had me intrigued from beginning to end, the mysterious death of a professor affiliated with the church who makes a scientificdiscovery and the death of the pope opened the stage for a great Plot.

The book, Angels and Demons, by Dan Brown is just as good as his book entitled, The Da Vinci Code.  I almost passed the book up in our office library, not realizing what it was.  As I looked closer and realized that it was written by the same author as The Da Vinci Code, I grabbed it up.

I started reading it and could hardly put it down.  The first chapter or so is a little confusing at first, but once you understand the characters, it's very interesting.  Since I already knew the main character, (same one from the Da Vinci Code) Robert, I could easily follow what was going on.

I just finished reading this book, Angels and Demons for the second time. The movie is due to come out on May 15 and I wanted to refresh my memory before I went to see it. I also read The Da Vinci Code which was a great book, but Angels and Demons is my favorite of the two. If you liked the movie National Treasure, you'll love this book. Robert Langdon has become one of the best characters and Dan Brown is now on my reading list. He did some incredible research to write this book including meeting with the Pope, I believe, in Italy for references and information. Rome is on the top of places in...

Following my brain surgery, my friend gave me this book.  At the time I couldn't read. After a month of recovery I picked up this book.  It took me a long while before I realized that I could read normal again.  This book is fascinating and got me  asking a lot of questions.  It is very evident that Dan Brown spent years researching Washington DC, Masons, Eastern Star, our government and so much more.  I loved this book as did my son and 20 year old grandson.  You'll never be bored and really want more!

This book is full of twists, which I absolutely love.  However, what I enjoy most about this book is that it's a fiction novel based on facts.  Despite this may seem to be an oxymoron, Angels and Demons is factual ficiton.  I even researched Brown's claims in this book -- and they were all true.  I love fiction novels, but I especially love them when they're done in this manner.  I only wish there were more authors out there like Dan Brown.

And if there are, please let me know!
