Angels and Demons is a unique book that happened in one day. There's some boring part in the book but still, it was a good book. I was fascinated by the way Dan Brown wrote Angels and Demons and as far as I can tell his books were just as good as this one. You won't regret having this book. :) I like the mystery and the thrill in the book. Once I started reading this book I can't bring myself to read another book.

In this book, Robert Langdon was an expert at symbols therefore he was hired to investigate the death of a Scientist in the CERN. In the process he met Vittoria, adopted daughter of the said Scientist and people in Vatican City. Their teamwork was great too.

Angels and Demons tells the dramatic story of Harvard Professor Robert Langdon who was summoned to a swiss reserch center to investigate a murder of a scientist which quickly spirals into a 24hr quest to save Vatican City from a ticking time bomb.

It was a thrilling edge of your seat book that I will read over and over again. The movie has nothing on the book.

Wow...this book was unreal...
When I heard that it was comming out in theater I ran to buy the book before I go see it.
It was one of the best books I've read. For people like me, that didn't like Davinchis's code and are not sure about Dan Brown, dont hold back:  read this one!
This book is full of action, intrigue and historic association... and you fall in love with the characters. If you start this book you will never whant to stop reading!

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.
