Angels & Demons
If you loved The Da Vinci Code, you must read Dan Brown’s earlier book, Angels & Demons, which features the first appearance of Harvard professor and Da Vinci Code hero, symbologist Robert Langdon When a priest is found murdered, branded with a symbol reading “Illuminati,” Langdon is summoned to investigate. He discovers an ancient brotherhood has resurfaced to destroy the Catholic Church—and it plans to detonate a bomb in the Vatican within 24 hours. Joining forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful scientist, Langdon embarks on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs and deserted cathedrals, following a 400-year-old trail toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair. They’re praying they’ll find it in time....

Well worth the wait

Didn't get to read this book until recently but "wow" it was worth it. I loved it. Dan Brown grabs you at the begtinning and doesn't let go until the end. His characters are well-developed and his plots are great. I recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery/thrillers.

This is Dan Brown's first book, and what a book! I have trouble getting started with many mystery novels because the character developement is draggingon. Once I started reading I could not put this book down. I have read all thwe other three boks by Dan Brown, each one having the same type of charcaters and a strong female role as well. "Digital Fortress" had a story line featuring cutting edge technology, and the same goes for "Deception Point". I am now readinghis fifth endeavor "Lost Symbol" enjoying it as well. He is a master of character developement.

Simply marvelous. I enjoyed this much more than DaVinci Code and look forward to reading The Lost Symbol.

I found The daVinci Code so convoluted and arcane that I simply could not enjoy it. In Angels and Demons, however, Brown has woven another symbol-driven chase into an absolutely riveting plot. Paradoxically, the ending, while fantastic, is actually the most believable part of the book.

Angels and Demons makes exciting reading

Having read the first book Da Vinci code, this sequel is still fun and exciting. I understand the controversy with the books and peoples irrational fears of conspiracy and terroism, but this is well written, keeps you on edge and fun to read.
