Okay, so if anyone has never read anything by Dan Brown, please crawl out of your hole NOW! Thank you. Dan Brown, of course, became super famous with his novel "The Da Vinci Code" (and for good reason...that is an amazing book). "Angels and Demons" was released 3 years before "Da Vinci" and introduces Robert Langdon, a professor of Symbology and Iconology at Harvard University. He turns into sort of an Indiana Jones type (hot, yes) as he goes about on his "adventures" solving murder mysteries. In A&D, he gets caught up in a plot by an ancient group called the Illuminati to destory the Catholic Church...obviously, chaos ensues! What I love about Dan Brown novels, is the immense amount of research he puts into them, which makes for a very visual storyline. Robert Langdon and his partner this time around, Vittoria, are running all over Italy and Vatican City in this book, and the way in which it all is written, makes you honestly feel as if you've been there. Another thing about this novel (and most, if not all of his books, if I remember correctly) that I love, is the fact that the whole thing takes place in a matter of hours. I think that I am reading this novel for the third time now, and I am still finding it hard to put the book down at night! So, next time you're looking for something good to read, you now have an option!
