Angels & Demons by Dan Brown
3.75

This book was a really fun ride and almost the whole time of reading it, I kept thinking back to watching Indiana Jones.
This was my second Dan Brown book and I think I've realized that I really like his writing style. It's fun and easy to get through, and the research and fun details of the places and history keep the setting dynamic.
Now I know that this is a work of fiction and that not everything in here was accurate and meant to be taken seriously but this was a fun adventure book that really changed up my month which brought a breath of enjoyment.

I do feel like the book was a little long, and might be able to do with some trimming since there were moments that felt very filler. Also, the lack of people in one of the busiest cities in the world was a little strange to me. 
Near the end of the book I thought this was going to be a very "pro religion" stance but was pleasantly surprised with the twist and felt like the ending was almost a comment of "anti religion" -- I do feel like maybe the ending character deaths could have been handled better and some of the characteristics seemed a little off near the end but overall this was super action packed and reminded me of a puzzle adventure movie.
