Book Review #6 - Angels & Demons by Dan Brown (2000)

              Dan Brown is great at crafting adventures that keep you wanting to continue reading. The short chapters allow for easy breaks and also entices you to keep going. In the first Robert Langdon adventures, we get to travel to the Vatican and Rome. The mystery revolves around the Illuminati and their quest to destroy the Catholic Church. The book keeps the mystery all the way to the end. As mentioned earlier, it keeps you interested through and through. Sometimes it feels a little too much like a planned puzzle. No killer would symbolically place everything along a path that can be deciphered by following centuries old books, but you have to suspend your disbelief to make this work. The book gives us great descriptions of the scenery they are in and makes Robert Langdon a compelling lead character. It’s a good read for anyone, advanced or beginner, which explains Dan Brown’s popularity among the reading community.

Score : 8 / 10
