4.5! This book stressed me out in so many ways but was so cleverly written. Can't wait to read the Da Vinci Code and watch the movies

Angels & Demons poses many theological and scientific questions. A war between science and religion. There were so many questions, so many facts (art history, tombs, tunnels, architecture in Rome) along with Illuminati - did it really exist??? How about the Catholic Church - the politics, the pope election...fact? Hmmm...my brain is spinning, trying to make sense, trying to understand. There is a huge part of me that is cringing.

Why cringe? I cringe whenever I read something that seems to try and portray us humans (science, what ever) as more powerful and knowledgeable than God. I hold a great respect for the institution of religion...of the Catholic Church. However, I am not so naive to know that the Catholic Church at one point was very powerful in the world of politics, history, the building of nations, the downfall of individuals who want to speak out for their faith that was different from the Catholics. Regardless, the core is that they do believe in Christ Jesus as our Savior so I do have a respect.

I did, however, find the story interesting. I found myself caught up in the intrigue, the mystery, the action. I found that I read this book at a slower pace than usual as I needed time to process the story - the information. The beginning, due to huge amount of information was a bit slow but around pg 236 I found that my heart started to pound. The story became intense. I had to finish...I had to know what happens.
