A review by solizbe
Angels & Demons by Dan Brown
3.0
I never write reviews but when I do, it's either about a book I absolutely adore or loathe.
Angels & Demons, I definitely adore though some elements in the book put me off.
Firstly, the hired killer in the book was a middle eastern man whom Dan Brown wrote sexist, for some reason. "In his country, women knew their place." I don't know which country is that, my friend. The middle east contains diverse countries and diverse levels of oppression towards women. In my country, noone hates women as much as the killer does.
The second thing that was hilarious is the incorrect arabic counting. It's supposed to be "Wahad Ethnyn Thalatha Arbaa" That is, if you're using standard arabic. I fail to understand why The Killer would talk in such a way since each country in the middle east has its own simplified version of arabic.
Do your own research before writing a book, authors. The internet isn't the place for valid information.
What annoyed me the most is the fluffy ending. So The two main characters beat the bad guy and then they got married, how devastatingly gross and predictable.
Another thing that absolutely annoyed me is the obvious sexualization of the female main character when she is first introduced. I just knew that she were to be the love interest of Mr. Langdon. Painfully obvious.
