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.
