Angels and Demons is a book by Dan Brown. It is the first book in which Robert Langdon takes a part and the series of events in this book takes place one year before The Da Vinci Code.Robert Langdon is a professor in religious symbology at Harvard. When he gets a phone call 5 o'clock in the night, which says that he needs to come at once because it is of absolute importance, he doesn't take it serious, but when he gets a fax with a picture of a naked man with the word "Illuminati" burned on his chest, he is forced to travel to a Swiss research center and analyze the cryptic symbol. His discovery is unbelievable. While the Vatican State is choosing a new pope, a old and secret brotherhood is planning a spectacular plan to attack the Vatican with a new stolen technology. The "church" of all catholic churchs is in the biggest danger it has ever been in. Robert Langdons knowledge is crucial for the Vaticans survival. This book is incredibly wonderful. I enjoyed it more than The Da Vinci Code. The codes and riddles tighten the excitement to utter bewilderment. This book is absolutely worth reading.

I think this guy have found a formula and is going to make books and books and books talking about the same things: religion, history, conspirations, puzzles and codes. I think there are millions of book that are more worth reading that these but they seem to entertain people so much... but I think they donīt look so good to people who read books frequently.

I would also say that there are millions of books of the same type which is better, but these books by Dan Brown has touched people in a way that makes them want more from him. The Da Vinci Code was a title which made people curious so they read it and loved it. Maybe because they have not heard or read other books of the same type. Anyway, this book is very good, but there are better out there(my guess)

it was excellent! even though it was more or less on the same lines as the da vinci code (conspiracy, secret societies, the church...) i loved it  he could make another one about conspiracies and secret societies and i'd still like it lol... however i dnt think its better than the da vinci code, nothing beats that, cos u can actually end up believing some of the things in there lol  for example something which majorly freaked me out yesterday....i read in a history book that a lot of knights templar fled to excommunicated scotland after the friday 13th massacres...... and then i saw a picture of the scottish flag.... http://pipersanddrummers.com/Scottish%20Flag.jpgthe blade & chalice?  not only that, but i found out that rosslyn chapel is also in scotland.... ..majorly freaky stuff

The da vinci code is more realistic. I don't know why I liked Angels and Demons better. I just got a better feeling while reading that one than reading the da vinci code. I have bought the book: Holy blood holy grail. That was the book Dan Brown based the da vinci code on. I have only read a chapter or two and its quite interesting.

I liked Angels and Demons most out of Dan Brown's books. The many twists and turns make me keep wanting to read on, and I also learnt some new things about art!

In my opinion, I thought that Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code were awesome reads. However, I also thought, after reading The Da Vinci Code first, that Angels and Demons was basically a rehash of its predecessor... which in a way, was kind of disappointing. It wasn't just the same theme, but the same type of characters, the conspiracy, the supposed dangers, the running around, the obstacles, the hero's relationship with the girl in the story... it all seemed like a rehash of the previous book. Not like it wasn't enjoyable to read.  If the formula works, it's only smart to keep it, but change it up a little, Mr. Brown! They even end the same way!  One thing that I loved about reading these books is that the reader is exposed to a myriad facts of cultural history that we otherwised would have been bored with in a college text. It's far better to be learning about these things by reading a well-written novel than by "death-by-Powerpoint" presentations, college texts, and droning professors.

To me, Angels and Demons is more unrealistic to me (creating an antimatter? Wow), but the message behind Angels and Demons is not as controversial as that of Da Vinci Code. I think that what's made Da Vinci Code more successful. Even if the way of writing is roughly equivalent, both books can still be entertaining even if you have read one of them. And why do people keep contrasting it with Da Vinci Code... Digital Fortress is much more suited for computer geeks...

Angels and Demons need not be all that i=unrealistic you know....of ourse, the part about the Vatican' involvement blah blah...may be weird...but anti-matter creation or to be more precise, "God's Particle" is indeed a sort of Holy Grail for physicists world-wide. In fact, a facility has been built at Cerne, Switzerland , called a Large Hydrogen Collider (LHC), which will supposedly create this particle.

I agree that this is a great book. I wouldn't say that it is BETTER than the DaVinci Code, but almost equal. They both are genius and really interesting, but have very different story lines. the thing about angels and demons is that it can actually strengthen your faith if you are religious, and it doesn't try to say that science or religion is right, but argues that they can exist together and actually help each other. The speech that that priest gives in the book is beautiful and I read it over again. Although Dan Brown's books are what I would call easy reads, they are creative and VERY interesting to read. I challenge you to read a couple of chapters and then willingly put the boo down for angels and demons or the davinci code. I heart Dan Brown and his books.

well i personally think that da vinci code was kinda better than angels and demons...I couldn't close the book at all. The suspense and riddles and the puzzles were so intriguing and the whole storyline was breathtaking.....Definitely one of the best books i've read so far. A&D on the other hand was also an amazing book but i preferred da vinci code to it....

I am working on my Norwegian exam, and one of the things we have to talk about is an author and one of his books. I have chosen Dan Brown, and "Angels and Demons." And here is the problem; It has been a long time since I red it, and when I read summaries online they never reveal the end. So it would be really nice if someone had a link or could give me a short summary of the book and what happens. I remember a lot of it, but the end is unclear... I have only got about 2-3 minutes to give a summary. It would be great if someone could help me.

QUOTE(stevethedog @ Apr 8 2008, 12:28 PM) Like other readers of the Da Vinci Code, I wanted to read other books written by Dan Brown. What surprised me was that the Angels and Demons book wasn't the book that took him to the top of the NYT best seller's list. Maybe it was cuz Angels And Demons was such a good book that they decided to promote Da Vinci Code? I don't know probably something like that. Angels And Demons is my favorite book. I actually read Angels And Demons first and then The Da Vinci Code...Angels And Demons, in my opinion, is better. I was gonna start on Deception Point but after those two books, I kinda got sick of his style of writing. It was just too much the same. I might read the book later in life though...

Essential Actionscript 3.0 Book Review
(0) Even though this book covered the basics of ActionScript 3.0, I felt that this book is above a

who has a hard time trying to learn programming languages to be able to code from scratch. I want
to be able to learn of which I attempted to do so before my computer crashed on me and lost

Dad - What the Rich Tell Their Children About Money That the Poor Do Not". Not exactly being born in
the richest of families, I was intrigued by what secrets might lie within this book. Secrets I
would never learn unless I opened and read it's pages. I pointed the book out to my mom, she
looked the price then put it back on the table. We left. I was kind of disapointed ....
