Angels & Demons
by Dan Brown
Corny, implausible but a riveting read.
For all the detractors you cant fault the book and writing for entertainment value. Edge of your seat ride across 6 hours. Yes, everything that happens is impossible and even the facts very liberal and loose but it comes together to a very interesting and fun page turner. When you read a Dan Brown book you dont expect something like Foucaults Pendulum.
People can look down their nose at the books not being an excellent piece of literature but it sells and has wide appeal.
For me this is my favourite Dan Brown book, though it has been years since I read them all and I am going to get through them all this year. This one interests me more than the rest and is the best of the bunch as far as I am concerned. Da Vinci Code gets the publicity but this one is a notch above in my opinion.
What I like most about these books are they inspire me to research and read up on the art and history mentioned like the sculptures of Bernini and even the history of the Papacy, aside from the hours of enjoyment the introduction to new interests and pieces of culture that would have otherwise passed me by.
My enjoyment of this over the past few days buffs my rating up a star to 5.
