Angels & Demons (Robert Langdon)

This was a very good book. I would say that 90% of the book was nothing like the movie. Still, I enjoy them both and was glad I saw the movie first. I do plan to get more of Dan Brown's books.

Held Me Enthralled

Maximilian Kohler, the general director of the Swiss nuclear research facility CERN, wakes Harvard Symbologist Robert Langdon in the middle of the night with a phone call. Kohler needs Langdon's help because one of CERN's star scientists has been horribly murdered, the body branded with strange symbols. This is no ordinary murder, but is murder ever ordinary, probably not, but this one is highly unusual. Langdon is on the case and so is his new sidekick, the daughter of the murdered scientist, the beautiful Vittoria Vetra, who is also a brilliant physicist.

In addition to the murder, a sample of the anti-matter the lab has been working on has been stolen, and it seems just a pinch of this stuff can set off a Hiroshima type explosion. And who's got it? Well a secret society, don'tcha know, the illuminati who have a long standing grudge against the Church. Add to the mix the fact that the Pope has been murdered and that those favored to replace him are missing and you have the makings of a thriller extraordinaire as Langdon and Vittoria race time to find the anti-matter bomb in the bowels of the Vatican before it goes off and turns the Holy See into rubble.

I know I might have been a little flip above, because some of this story seemed a little far fetched, but be that as it may, I couldn't put the book down. It held me enthralled from cover to cover, just an out of sight thriller, that's what this book is. What more can I say?

Ordered the book on Dec 11th 2009, It's Feb 10th and I still don't have the book...

I love this book so I ordered one from "Book Havens" for my daughter for X-mas and still haven't recieved the book. They supposedly re-shipped it twice...HMMMM..Guess it's lost?..and my money?.. not good service!!!!!! I've never had any problems before when ordering books through Amazon.....

Serviceable through life of reading

The binding was in acceptable condition for the price I paid, less than a paperback.
Though if you wanted to put the book on the shelf at this low price, I would hide it in the back, as the binding was giving away when I finished reading.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code comes the explosive thriller that started it all.

An ancient secret brotherhood. A devastating new weapon of destruction. An unthinkable target. When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to his first assignment to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol -- seared into the chest of a murdered physicist -- he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati...the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth. The Illuminati has now surfaced to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy -- the Catholic Church.

Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival.

Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair...a clandestine location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation.

Critics have praised the exhilarating blend of relentless adventure, scholarly intrigue, and cutting wit found in Brown's remarkable thrillers featuring Robert Langdon. An explosive international suspense, Angels & Demons marks this hero's first adventure as it careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war.
