Reading List

June 5, 2007

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown


It is one of those books where I saw the movie first and then decided to read the book.

I liked it. It kept you interested. It kept you reading, especially because I knew what was going to happen - sort of. The movie doesn't exactly follow the book. I think Dan Brown did a good job with the action and suspense.

However, anyone who can look into this book and see a conspiracy theory - is just crazy - nuts - cuckoo - gone bananas. To much willing suspension of disbelief has to happen to get into reality at all.

Take it as it is - a good story with some historical background.

Nope - not on the 501 must read books list - but I'd give it a 3.5 - just cause it was fun to read.
