Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Stella

Yet another action-packed and puzzle filled novel from the great Dan Brown, author of the DaVinci Code! Angels and Demons, though admitedly not as good as the DaVinvi Code, is another masterful mystery that will be solved by the religious symbologist Robert Langdon. This novel is a prequel to the DaVinci Code and being is a lot more gruesome, is not for the squimmish or the easily scared.

It is the middle of the night when Harvard religious symbologist Robert Langdon is awoken by the ring of the phone. Still disorientated, Langdon answers the phone and is greeted by a man who claims to be the director of a labratory in Switzerland, saying that there has been a murder in their facility and they need Langdon's expertise in symbology. At first Langdon is incredulus, but is forced to believe what the scientist is telling him when he is faxed a photo of the murdered scientist and begins to comprehend the implications of the method of the murder. As Robert is swept off to Geneva he has no idea how far his journey will take him and the events that are about to unfold will change the course history.
