Angels & Demons by Dan Brown

3.0

Brown’s first book featuring The Da Vinci Code character Robert Langdon is truly a page-turner. A stylish story, filled with religious and scientific facts and tales, keeps the reader enthralled; and a perfectly placed cliffhanger at the end of each chapter keeps the suspense high. Like James Patterson perfected in his books, short chapters cater to the audience being able to read a chapter in five minutes or so and then stop, not having to break between pages. With this book, though, readers might not want to stop once they get into this very fast-paced story, which involves the re-birth of a secret society from long ago that included famous sciences, popes, and others in high power among its members. The thrills come at a quick pace and the story is not too complicated to hinder the reader’s ability to keep up with the action. Of course, there are a few major plot twists in the end, but the final surprise is one that will shock everyone. A good read for anyone, but a great read if you love thrillers.
