I loved the codebreaking side of the story and the little mysteries throughout the book. Again, like in ANGELS AND DEMONS, I didn't care for the religion elements.
There are 2 books left in this series but I feel like I may be getting bored of these books. I may have to take a break before picking up the next book.

Sometimes I just skipped entire paragraph because Langdon was waxing poetic about a building that didn't matter for the plot.
I get now why I could hardly follow it the first 2 times. I could barely follow it now. The story gets buried beneath the author's apparent need to prove how much research he did, which is an impressive amount, it has to be said.
All in all, I'm glad I read it again but I'm less enthused than I thought I'd be.
