Angels & Demons
by Dan Brown
Basically a story of what extreme lengths a man will go to to get laid by a grieving woman.
Mixed bag defines this book perfectly. Somehow all 700+ pages take place within 24 hours, which means events are bulked out on some detail.
That being said, the action is exciting and keeps you turning the pages with ease. Rome is a city I've visited in several occasions so it was fun to have some familiar place names pop up with added detail and context I didn't previously know.
My main problem with this book is the ending. The whole novel is building to discover who this huge, evil perpetrator is. There are several candidates throughout, each with potential motivations and actions riddled with holes. This means when the big reveal hits, there is an underwhelming feeling as it doesn't make great sense. As Dan Brown tries to justify this, it only stretches the reasoning thinner and thinner.
That being said, I still enjoyed this book in all it's silly action glory. Just which I hadn't expected the ending to make perfect sense.
