  rating: 4 of 5 stars<br/>So I've been reading this book on and off the whole week - which is sort of what always happens whenever I get a Dan Brown book - and it is very good. It really is. Better than I would expect it.
<br/>The reason why I don't allow myself to write an spetacular review on this spetacular novel is that I really hate Dan Brown. I do. All of his books have the same story - its almost like reading a script in different settings. I tried to read The DaVinci Code but I wasn't much caught up in it, and it soon became this massive best-seller even in Brazil and I hate best-sellers so I gave up. Then a friend recommended Angels & Demons and I read it. I absolutely loved it. There was a lot of information and it took me longer to read than I'd have liked it, but I adored it. Now I can hardly remember the story but at the time I was amazed. And I watched the movie for The DaVinci Code and could guess the ending prior to the middle of the film - it just seemed so obvious! At first I thought it was the film, but a friend who had read it said although the film was horrifying to anyone who ever read the book, the story was the same. That's why I hate him. He tried the same story over and over so he would get a go on a best-seller.
<br/>Luckly I had forgotten all about his books and scripts so this was a quite plesant reading.
<br/>Really good. Don't know if all the facts are genuine, but certainly very interesting. Now I have to read the other ones to find out the best.
