...Da Vinci Code well before Angels and Demons even though the former is the sequel released three years later. Does this mean that Dan Brown's first Robert Langdon novel is ay good? Published first in 2000 by Pocket Books, Angels and Demons has actually been branded an international Bestseller and despite selling more copies after the release of its sequel, critical reviews have generally been positive. Is it a 'breathless, real-time adventure with ...
...Well the story within Angels and Demons is one we are all familiar with, a race against time. Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor and symbologist teams up with marine scientist Vittoria Vetra on a quest that leads them to the Vatican and Rome pursuing a murderer who claims to be working for an ancient brotherhood known as The Illuminati, hell bent on blowing up the entire state.

Advantages: Keeps you just about interested enough to finish the book

...what they seem as the deception is uncovered. The question is who's behind the scam? If you've got nothing better to do then i suppose you could find worse things to read, but i wouldnt go to far out of your way to get a copy. At under a fiver it represents reasonable value for money although I would recommend if you do want to buy it then you should try and get it for cheaper at a car boot or on Ebay. ... Read review

Advantages: Captures the heart and soul of both the good and bad guy
Disadvantages: You dont get anything else done because you can't put it down!

This was the first leather book I had read and was totally hooked. If you have read and enjoyed any Chris Ryan and/or Andy McNab then this author is certainly one to have a punt on.
