Loved it! Though I've read The Da Dinci Code before this one, I still enjoyed Angels & Demons more. Couldn't put this book down for 3 days (well, I took breaks when my eyes couldn't stay open anymore)

I needed a good mindless read and I was very entertained by this book but the ending left something to be desired for me!

The way Dan Brown writes is amazing. Had a hard time in the beginning but around 200 pages in I completed the book in 1 day.

This book is okay I guess. With its fair amount of plot twists making the journey worth it. The side plot of the assassin being a pervert and wanting to rape women is completely pointless. At the first part of the book involving technologies I felt very mansplained by the author somehow. But once you get through that and start going into Rome and Vatican architectures and religious symbols it feels a lot better.
