Book Reviews of Angels & Demons
Book Review: **VERY ENTERTAINING**
Summary: 4 Stars
I read The DaVinci Code before this one. I liked this one even more. It's very clever & equally adventurous - if not MORE!
The same cons as DaVinci. Some results & fleeing authorities seem to come too easy. This one I found more spiritual than DaVinci though.
Book Review: ...yawn...
Summary: 2 Stars
As a conspirologist, I was intrigued. Sadly, this was a by-the-numbers thriller. Nothing new. I'll stick with the truth.Book Review: 10 STARS :-)
Summary: 5 Stars
In one word this book ROCKED!
This was the first Dan Brown book I have read, since then I have gobbled up his other books and I'm anxiously awaiting his next book!
He's got me.
I'm in the moment.
I'm experiencing it all.
I try my best to read as slow as possible to savor every bit but the pages keep flipping over faster and faster.
Oh how I wish other authors could write with his style! I'm trying like heck to find someone similar but no luck so far.
Book Review: 4 stars for the page-turning -1 for bad ending
Summary: 4 Stars
Angels & Demons was one of the most exciting books I've ever read. It doesn't necessarily make it the *best* book I've ever read; however, it is VERY enjoyable. I do not want to spoil anything (and I won't); however, I found quite a few things to be very predictable and I despised the ending. Therefore, I find the plot a little thin, if not invigorating.
It's very odd that I can punch a bunch of holes in the plot, yet still thoroughly enjoy it. If it weren't so exciting, I would've definitely given it a 2 on predictability and pandering (you'll see what I mean) alone.
The thing Dan Brown has a glorious knack for is creating puzzles partially based on factual history and places. It's not FACT, but his puzzles make life and history a little more exciting and fills you with wonder over what real secrets are hidden in our history. THAT'S the best thing about Dan Brown in my opinion. I will continue reading his novels if he continues to create those very interesting enigmatic historical puzzles.
Regardless of the plot holes, I whole-heartedly recommend this book, but it's NOT perfect and it's not "high literature" whatsoever. It's fun and a definite page-turner. Those who say it's worthless are being a little too elitist for their own good. :)

I nearly needed an oxygen mask the night I sat up until dawn to finish this book....simply breathtaking!! I really did have to remind myself to breathe. I read it after the Da Vinci Code, and didn't really expect it to be BETTER than that book...but in many ways it was...a real roller coaster ride of thrills and chills. Lot's of fun!
