I had a hard time putting this book down! Angels and Demons, by Dan Brown, is a terrific, action-packed novel with a fair share of heart pumping action, secret organizations, double-crossers, mysterious killers, and jaw-dropping assassinations. Staying true to the name "page turner", nearly every chapter ends with a hair-rising cliffhanger, edging the reader to go on to the next chapter. Dan Brown keeps the flow going throughout the book and effortlessly keeps the audience in their seats until the end. The story itself is twisted and full of countless surprises. You'll never know what's going to hit you next.
The book is centered around a Harvard symbology professor named Robert Langdon. Early in the morning, Robert receives a call from CERN, an advanced physics laboratory in Switzerland. Apparently, one of the top scientists working at CERN was murdered and branded with a strange symbol. Robert comes over to investigate and discovers that the brand was from none other than the Illuminati, a long-dead and anti-religious brotherhood. But when a mysterious caller informs that the Vatican is in danger of being wiped clean off the face of the planet, Robert is forced to admit that the ancient brotherhood has resurfaced and he is abruptly thrown into the vast cathedrals of Vatican City in search of vital clues that might save the church from total annihilation.
The book is fast-paced, so fast paced that the story manages to cram itself under the time span of twenty-four hours! Besides the frantic action, the book also gives some deep insight on the war between science and religion that really makes you think about what is going on in the world today. Sprinkled on top are tons of eye-opening facts such as the process of papal elections, the origin of the word "assassin", and info on the highly dangerous substance known as antimatter. Angels and Demons was obviously well-researched and I congratulate Brown for pulling off this novel while keeping (most of) the facts straight. Probably the only complaint I hold against this book is the ending. The conclusion left me confused and unsatisfied. Without spoiling the ending, I'll just say that the evil mastermind that was unmasked near the end of the story was entirely unexpected, but not in a good way. From the unmasking of the "bad guy", the book gets extremely awkward in explaining anything and I became thoroughly dissatisfied. But other than that, Angels and Demons is easily still one of the best books I've read in a while. Kudos to Mr. Brown for delivering a nearly perfect thriller! I'd certainly give this book a another go when I get the chance. If you want a fun and intense reading experience, I strongly recommend this book!
