Short chapters, gripping story, easy to get through. Reads like a movie with the constant POV switches, and Robert Langdon is a likeable main character.
This book (an the rest of the series) is very obviously written by a man (iykyk) and an American at that, but I can at least appreciate the occasional self-criticism.
I loved all the new etimology, art and history knowledge, and the different perspectives on religion.
My biggest criticism is that I wish he had left more prior clues/hints for the puzzles/riddles, because most are like "Ah ha! Of course! how could I have missed it! The answer is obviously [something that most of the readers have probably never heard of before, and wasn't mentioned at all in the book previously]!"

As always in Dan Brown's books, there is always action on every page that makes you want to keep reading. I love how the author always mixes truth and make-believe.

Seen movie too many times and couldn’t make myself keep reading knowing the ending
interesting enough to hold my attention over vacation when I ran out of other books. really predictable and a lot like the da vinci code but it was a fun distracting read.

I love Dan Brown’s writing style, omniscient pov has always been one of my favs, especially in a novel like this. Following the story of Robert Langdon, and multiple characters, you rush against the clock to help save Vatican City from the Illuminati, who have their sights set on destroying the Catholic Church. Puzzles, historical fiction, the secret brotherhood and plot twists along the way made for an amazing story !
