By Dan Brown
Before Robert Langdon got around to solving the Da Vinci Code he got sweeped up into another, different mystery. His first adventure, while still tightly connected to religion, church and ancient brotherhoods is a lot less grounded than the second instalment of the series.
Futuristic technology, scientific breakthroughs and weapons of mass destruction. CERN, the Vatican, conclave and ambigrams. And, in the end, the most devastating twist of all.
Dan Brown's world building, plot thickening and historical background are once again impeccable, even if the physics part of the book sounds a bit far fetched.

Robert Langdon
Langdon is his usual calm and serene self. Stoic, kind and intelligent, always a gentleman, good at reading people and slow to judge them.Vittoria Vetra
is obviously a woman of high EQ. She is an master in yoga, good at juggling her emotions and able to deal with loss and crisis quickly and efficiently, without featuring apathy or indifference. She is also an overachiever, a marine biologist, nuclear physicist and yoga masterPlot etc

All in All
Although in my opinion the Da Vinci Code remauns Dan Brown's best novel, Angel's and Demons is still unputdownable enough to be s must read. Illumunati enthousiasts, conspiracy buffs and anyone else who enjoys a fast paced thriller with interesting notions will find thus an enticing read. And the ultimate face off between science and religion, after centuries of Cold War, is not what you'd expect...
