Steven Myers: I have heard people talking about this series but never read any. I give in and decided to start at the beginning, and loved this first book. Hopefully it will continue!

Hi: I enjoyed the book and found myself thinking about it when not reading it. I have two criticisms, however. One, the book is a bit too critical of the Catholic Church. Yet it is also generally respectful. But I do not read a novel to see a religion criticized. It is dangerous territory.
Two, I had decided long ago to avoid fact-based fiction (as in historical fiction). It’s difficult for a casual reader to discern fact from fiction. This book too often presents false history. For example, it says that Winston Churchill was a devout Catholic. I had never heard that before, so I looked it up and it is simply untrue. The book does this too often. So one finishes the book not really knowing whether the posited facts are indeed true.

Susan F. Russell: Not a boring moment. I loved all the locations. I looked each up as I read them. It was like traveling to Rome.

Connor: Robert Langdon is searching for a series of clues that will lead him along the “path of illumination” following this path will lead him to the spot where the illuminati has regrouped in order to get their revenge on the Catholic Church.
The path of illumination is marked by the four elements of science “Earth, Air, Fire & Water”.
Following works of art by the Italian artist Bernini, Langdon races against the clock to save Vatican City and the people in it.
Wow. What an adventure. I adored this novel. As a wannabe art enthusiast the way Brown fuses historical, architectural, & artistic fact with fiction is just such a pleasure to read.
The story is clear and easy to follow, perfectly paced, engaging and immersive. The characters in the book each have a well thought out role and a reason to be there.
I enjoyed the beginning, the middle & the end and wouldn’t change a single word, plot or person in this book.
I’m heading for a short break to Rome in March of this year (2023) and I will absolutely be visiting each of the four pillars and church of illumination.
1. Chigi Chapel (Habakkuk and the Angel)
2. The marble...

Tucker Andersen: I had been very impressed by DIGITAL FORTESS, Dan Brown's first novel, and found his treatment of a complex subject matter both knowledgeable and compelling. I had then missed the publication of ANGELS AND DEMONS, but felt that he had overplayed his hand in his third novel DECEPTION POINT, which started with an interesting premise but wandered into unnecessary complexity and violence and ultimately complete implausibilty. With the publication of THE DA VINCI CODE, upon learning that Robert Langdon is the central character in both DA VINCI and ANGELS, I decided to first read ANGELS in order to keep the stories in sequence. This is a mesmerizing page turner as long as you accept the author's central technological premises concerning scientific achievements in the near future.
Robert Langdon, a professor of iconography and religious symbology at Harvard, is awakened by a telephone call from Maximilian Kohler, head of a prestigious European scientific institute. One of Kohler's fellow scientists has been murdered and an ancient symbol burned into his chest. Langdon feels compelled to investigate, and soon finds himself in the midst of a plot involving not only the death of Leonardo...
