The style is much the same, short chapters, parallel intersecting story-lines, conspiracy, secret societies. Again, great description of geography that make you want to travel and go to see all those places by ourself, and verify all the details described.
Haven't we seen all that before? A common misconception is that Angels & Demons is a sequel to the Da Vinci Code, which does not live up to the predecessor. Actually it was written a few years before Dan Brown's best seller, and this is actually the first book published afterwards.
Yes, secret societies and religion are among the elements of the thick plot, but my surprise was the strong conciliating tone of the whole book towards religion, faith and "religions".
If the first books were more mathematical, influence of Dan Brown's father, perhaps, this last piece is much more philosophical. It reminds me of Einstein's career path, which not surprisingly is often quoted throughout the book.
I was still surprised with most plot twists. And if Angels & Demons was somehow predictable to those who had read The Da Vinci Code, definitely not the case here. Further the constant presence of high-tech gadgets kept the story more appealing, rather than that of classicals. I wonder what people in 10 years time will think of those.
The only bitter taste I got from this book? - It is kind of a spoiler, don't read any further if you haven't read the book yet - the ending.(less)

Even when crumbling a piece of paper and throwing it to the basket. My only regret is the lack of depth used to explain them, but on the other hand the chapters are hence smaller and easier to read.(less)
