Ready for an adventure? This book will take you on one! It certainly did me. Angels & Demons was the first Dan Brown novel that I read and I was captivated from the first sentence to the last word. This is a riveting thriller that is action-packed with suspense, murder, and mayhem that threatens to erupt on the eve of the new pope's coronation. Plus, it is filled with factual information regarding historical landmarks and the Catholic Church, while intertwining science and religion. I highly recommend putting this book on your "must-read" list!

Really well-written. The historical facts are very accurate but it does not have to shake anyone's religious convictions.... it is just an excellent read.

This is a thrill a minute book but what I liked about it was the solid historical background, which emphasizes the repression of scientific discovery by the Church.

an excellent thriller more than enough twist and surpries to keep you guessing.

This is an EXCELLENT book! I liked it even more than the DaVinci Code, and the 2 books are my favorites!

This is probably the best book that I have read to date. If you read and like The Da Vinci Code, you will definately enjoy this book. I actually liked Angels and Demons better than Da Vinci Code.

Great storytelling by Dan Brown. A must read if you were spellbound by the DaVinci Code. One of my all time favorites. Can't wait for more Dan Brown works in the future.

Better than the Da Vinci Code, I thought, and the inside look at the workings of the Vatican was fascinating.

As with The Da Vinci Code, too short and not enough original research.

I had a love/hate relationship with this book. It is fast paced and interesting and kept me going. Brown's style is easy to read and kept my attention from wandering. On the negative side, I found some of the 'twists' to be a little simple, despite insistence from the author that they were important. These moments, while not incredibly numerous, still had me groaning from time to time. Overall, I would still say it's a good read for a rainy day
