Brown is a master of detail and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to art, religion and history. Robert Langdon is a great protagonist in this thriller. I loved "The Da Vinci Code" and enjoyed "Angels and Demons". It is an exciting thrill ride and in depth look at the machinations of the Catholic Church. I was slightly disappointed with the ending and I also think it dragged on a tad longer than needed. The book was already fabulous without a few extra plot twists. I will still look forward toI read this book after having read DA Vinci. But I liked this one better than the Da Vinci Code.

Gory,and (spoiler alert)--there isn't going to be any solution until all the murders are committed, so you have to sit through all the gore and you know it.Plus, Dan Brown's characters move through the plot at an unhuman rate...dont' they have to eat or go to the bathroom? :)
The Da Vinci Code:The DaVinci Code rocked the world when it came out. Just by chance, I had finished "Holy Blood Holy Grail" when I picked up Dan Brown's book- so I was well prepared for the plot twists and turns. Controversial as well as compelling, it leads to many long talks by the water cooler at work. Dan Brown was the first to bring many of the legends of the family of Jesus to today's culture and gives you food for thought. Entertaining, thought-provoking as well as a darn good read- the
