Angels and Demons
Angels and Demons | Dan Brown
Contains a sneak preview of Inferno, Dan Brown's astonishing new Robert Langdon thriller. CERN Institute, Switzerland: a world-renowned scientist is found brutally murdered with a mysterious symbol seared onto his chest. The Vatican, Rome: the College of Cardinals assembles to elect a new pope. Somewhere beneath them, an unstoppable bomb of terrifying power relentlessly counts down to oblivion. In a breathtaking race against time, Harvard professor Robert Langdon must decipher a labyrinthine trail of ancient symbols if he is to defeat those responsible - the Illuminati, a secret brotherhood presumed extinct for nearly four hundred years, reborn to continue their deadly vendetta against their most hated enemy, the Catholic Church.

Starting this. I picked up the 3rd in the series from a used sale a few years back, so thought I should give the series a shot

Did anyone else go through a massive reading slump in February or was it just me? Here‘s a reread to try to claw my way back into the reading world.

I quite enjoyed my first encounter with Robert Langdon. I always find books like this fascinating, intertwining fact and fiction with such a fine line it's almost believable.

"Day 1: Favorite Book in a Series"

Angels & Demons by Dan Brown, hands down. I read this for the first time in high school and have loved it ever since.

Amazing story

Angels & Demons | Dan Brown

“‘Definitely not gypsies,‘ he decided in his semiconscious delirium. ‘Aliens perhaps?‘ Yes, he had heard about things like this. Fortunately, the beings would not harm him. All they wanted were his—“ Pg 431

hefau It cuts off there during the narrative with Langdon exclaiming “not on your life”. 3y

I've been rereading books in my collection to keep or give away. I really am at the point where I've read everything fiction in my house!

Finished Deception Point and Digital Fortress (DF is still the best of Dan Brown, I think) so now it's on to Robert Langdon.

I had high hopes for the story but it fell short of it. Mostly because the many twists were clear see-throughs, many questions were unanswered or rather had really vague explanations and in some cases none at all. The vagueness of breakins and killings is too uncanny for the level of depth percieved. It is surely intriguing and gripping but it is too shallow at points. I don't think i would follow up with series.

Everything leads the way to the ultimate question... Who are we? What is life? How did we come into being? And what's the purpose of our existence?

It was a good read. I liked the 1st book better tho. Watched the movie as well(Both angels and demons and the da Vinci code). Movies seem so high paced after reading the very descriptive books of Dan Brown. Intersting book overall.

I haven‘t read this in a long time, so it was great getting to read it again before getting to the newest book in the series. I remembered more of the movie than the book. The book is much different, with some characters being cut out of the movie entirely. I think I like the book version far better than the movie version. I liked the book the first time around, but I liked it even better this time around, somehow.

GingerAntics The book starts under Sede Vacante, which, when referring to the papacy, is “vacant thrown.” So I guess the thrown was temporarily not vacant, because Robert was borrowing The Holy Throne. 🤣😂🤣 4y
julesG I remember finding this hilarious too. 4y
GingerAntics @julesG it could be my entire lack of sleep lately, but I was laughing for quite a while over that one. I forgot this book had some funny bits in them. Sadly, they left them out of the movie. 4y

I read this 11 years ago. In 2009 I kept this in my bag to give me something to do to stay out of the way when my mother was arguing with my grandmother to shower at the nursing home. I remember it, but don‘t. I just watched the movie so I‘m having a go with it again, to refresh my memory on all the places Robert Langdon has been before starting Origin for the first time.

GingerAntics The last time I read this, ebooks were in their infancy and no one was sure about them. #DanBrown #RobertLangdonSeries #AngelsAndDemons 4y

So I thought I would be tagging this as a reread but as it turns out the only thing I remembered was the controversy in the telling and the mystery in the religious symbols. 137 chapters, and not once did I finish a chapter and recall what would happen next. It‘s a particularly interesting read in these days regarding fearful efforts of religion to stifle science.

This book had some good qualities to it. I was very intrigued by all the historical aspects and different things about the Illuminati that was presented. Unfortunately, I was left slightly disappointed to read through the entire book and have picked out early who the villain was and what happens with the weapon. It was a let down because of the built expectations of the evil in the book, only to have the rug ripped out in a anticlimactic reveal.

Wow.. What a fantastic book I've read so far. Really an awesome read, pounding cliffhanger and i literally sense anxiety while i read some pages. I wished go go go run faster.. Yeah go go.. I was literally running jumping and doing stuff while i read. The monstrous places, beautiful artifacts, humongous plans and deceitful people all took this to a next level. Cat chase everywhere and i was totally carried out by those characters. CSK fans, go 4't

Our pre-quarantine stack of library books, picked up for my mom in February. My dad and I tend to pick out romance or cosy mystery books for her to try. Angels & Demons was a fair extra, since mom liked the movie. -- Our libraries currently have 8600+ books out 😯 with last-name alphabetical order plans on drop-box returns. H for me, will have these books back on the 16th. 🇨🇦
