This book was quite interesting. It was extraordinary, but one thing really made be feel bad. There are some very sick and disgusting parts, that I don't think young children should be seeing. But, I guess that's my fault, for reading it in the first place when it is in the "Fiction" section instead of the "Young Adult Fiction" section. But, I must say, I was really surprised about the disgusting parts.
Otherwise, the mysterious parts, the parts where Robert Langdon is looking for the Illuminati, fascinated me to an extent that I couldn't put down the book. Well, I had to, once, when my brother took it away, but I was so depressed.
I wasn't exactly happy with the ending, not the best ending ever, but satisfactory. I would recommend this book for readers who are up for a challenge, but will not be affected by the sick parts.

This book is basically a prequel to The Da Vinci Code. It is about Robert Langdon and this time it's about an organization called CERN that requests his help. He agrees to help and from then on an adventure starts that won't let you put the book down once you start. This book is great and it will really engross you but I think that you have to be at least 12 to read it because there are some parts that aren't for faint-hearted people.

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.

This is another marvelous piece by Dan Brown. He weaves history with interesting murder into a masterpiece. Robert Langdon must catch the Illuminati before four major members of the church are killed by a mysterious, "creative" assassain. Will Langdon save the world from destruction? Read Angels and Demons to find out. Also read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.
