Angels and Demons is a fantastic book and had me on my feet and the end of the story!!! It is such a great novel and has so many hidden secrets within the book itself. Dan Brown is genuinely one of the greatest thriller authors of all…

A dorky, "Indiana Jones" -inspired story. Not as great as some may say, but an entertaining read.

Another fascinating read by Dan Brown and I cannot wait to read the next one, i was pleasantly surprised at how well the slight, dare i say, romance fit into the factinating plot. Would definitely read again.

Dan Brown grabs you from the get go and drags you along for the ride. Just when you think you can take a breath, he twists the story and you’re headed off in that direction. You travel, you meet people, and you discover secrets centuries…

this was ok. I read The Da Vinci Code first not realizing it was part of a series and I thought it was better than Angels And Demons. I also thought the hating on catholics was a bit much. otherwise, it was a fun read and a page turner.

Easy read once into.

Just noticed that I forgot to give an evaluation on this book. In fact, it was terrific - much better than the highly-acclaimed "DaVinci Code".

I think Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons," his first Robert Langdon thriller, was overshadowed by "The Da Vinci Code" but it shouldn't be: this one is edge of your seat action with some really twisted surprises. Highly recommend.

Amazing!!!! Maybe one of the most interesting books I've ever read. It felt like I was right there uncovering the mystery along with the main character. I enjoyed that the book didn't try to dumb it down for us like these are the facts…

Dan Brown is not a subtle author. But that doesn't mean his books will not be enjoyable. I read "The Da Vinci Code" and found it highly entertaining, if absolutely devoid of deeper meaning. It was a good popcorn novel. This was not. I…

Great book!

I read the Spanish translation of this book, and sincerely, it gave me the creeps and a sick feeling. Dan Brown demonizes the Roman Church in this religious horror story, by revealing in the second half of it that the real criminal behind…

Loved it! :) I think I might have started the series out of order (since I started with this book), but it's really good. I'm not big into history or religion but it was very well written. I might have to check out the movie now

Great thriller full of suspense! I knew the ending before I went into the book, but found myself constantly doubting if I have misunderstood the spoiler because I just don't see things going that way. However, at the end, everything worked…

Angles and Demons was the best Robert Langdon novel (it was published first and is not intended to be a prequel of for the Da Vinci Code), but it had some problems. Plot-wise, the biggest problem was that Robert Langdon seems to be…

It was an interesting concept of trying to combine science with religion, and history (art, architecture, etc). I can see where this book can become controversial. Robert Langdon is woken to a phonecall that changes his life and outlook.…
