Angels - Demons- Special Illustrated Edition

5 stars (angles and demons) - The story talks about Brilliant physicist Leonardo Vetra, who was attempting to use science to prove the existence of God, has been murdered; his eyes plucked out and the society's ancient symbol branded upon his chest. His final discovery, anti-matter, the most powerful and dangerous energy source known to man, has disappeared. Langdon and Vittoria, Vetra's daughter, embark on a frantic hunt through Rome, following a 400-year-old trail to the lair of the Illuminati, to prevent the incineration of civilization. Dan Brown is quite a talent man. This novel is very interesting and exciting. There is a mystery and suspense. It shows comparison between religion and science, as to the relationship between the two supposedly opposing positions. The Illuminati and antimatter are amazing. I strongly believe that you might fall in love with this novel and refuse to stop reading it. Finally, I am looking forward to reading next novel. 5 stars (the Angels have it) - Like millions of people I read THE DA VINCI CODE and loved it so thought I would try ANGELS AND DEMONS. It's a book about secret brotherhoods, religion and dark assassins. Once again the central character is Robert Langdon. It's a brilliant read. ALSO if you like religious thrillers, I highly recommend STEALING FROM ANGELS by Brian Dullaghan. I would say these are my best two books for 2005. 5 stars (Incredible Read!) - This, along with The da Vinci Code, is one of my new favorite books. It follows Robert Langdon on the trail of a killer and a madman threatening to use a deadly weapon to blow up Vatican City. Dan Brown is an amazing suspense/thriller/mystery author and I'm looking forward to The Solomon Key. While I'm not sure when that'll be coming out, I'm looking forward to the da Vinci Code movie (starring Tom Hanks) and I'm planning on reading more of Brown's books. This book is highly recommended. If you've read The da Vinci Code, you may find yourself enjoying this on...

The Da Vinci Code

5 stars (IT'S ONLY A BOOK!) - It's hard to explain why there's been such a fuss over this novel. Sure, it digs the Christian religion's grave just a bit more, but c'mon, it's only a novel. It's fiction. That MEEEEAANS....it's FALSE! It's not true, it's fake! If you buy a work of fiction looking for concrete facts, get a head check. Nobody's saying there's absolutely nothing true in this book, but it's not a history book, it's a suspense novel. However. I loved this book, because it makes history (false or not) very VERY interesting. I seriously couldn't put my iPod down, and that's what's so great about this novel (NOVEL!), it's about history and the church, but it's actually interesting. With the anti-book revolution today, people need to be praising Dan Brown for writing a thick book that everyone has read. Bravo. I'm done with my rant/ramble. I hope this helped. Praise da Vinci! 2 stars (Long on Entertainment, Short on Substance) - This mystery/thriller entertained me thoroughly but I must say not much of the story has stayed with me. I remember this work as a classic page turner so if you like that sort of reading experience, you should pick this up. Much has been written about the controversy surrounding the way Jesus Christ's adult life is portrayed. While this was somewhat bothersome, many media presentations have explained what aspects of this portrayal are reliable and which are not (which is most!). Neither the characters nor the writing is that memorable though. Many compare this book to the Chinese Food experience: it tastes great, really enjoyable, but not too much later, you're hungry again! 4 stars ( The Da Vinci Code ) - I thought this book was spectacular, Dan Brown really did it this time. Robert Langdon was great in the book Angels & Demons, but was even more of a symboligist hero in the second book. The Da Vinci Code is definetly full of suspense, action and mystery. I would highly recommend this book and cn hardly wait for his next bo...

Digital Fortress

4 stars (memorable stinker) - There's something here for everyone. Short chapters and oversimplified technical explanations make the vapid reader feel smart. The more astute may savor the stinkiness of Dan Brown's early work. The research, the writing, the characters, the dialogue, the plot - it's all comically bad. Meet David, a language professor, and the heroine's boyfriend: "Over six feet tall, Becker moved across a squash court faster than any of his colleagues could comprehend. After soundly beating his opponent, he would cool off by dousing his head in a drinking fountain and soaking his tuft of thick, black hair. Then, still dripping, he'd treat his opponent to a fruit shake and a bagel." The whole book is like that. This isn't five star stinky, but it's close. 4 stars ( Digital Fortress ) - Outstanding Dan Brown thriller. More of a story than you might be used to but builds to a I cannot put this down type Dan Brown book. Computer buffs dare not miss this. 3 stars (Well...Everyone Has To Start Somewhere) - Working my way backward through Dan Brown's books, I have finally arrived at his first novel, " Digital Fortress ", and...well, this novel is obviously a first effort. Many reviewers have trounced this book thoroughly, but I won't be so harsh-every writer has to start somewhere, and " Digital Fortress " still makes a passable airplane/airport book. Readers will recognize the themes that Brown has used in every one of his books: boy/girl protagonists aroused from their routines at the last minute to be sent on a quest, the significance of which isn't realized until the evil bad guy-assassin shows himself; a conspiracy from the highest levels, and conspirators whose nefarious plans begin to cascade out of control as the unwitting protagonists expose the deception. This is formulaic niche stuff-nothing wrong with that as long as the reader sticks to the paperback editions and avoids investing in the hardcover editions. Where Brown struggles is in writi...
