Book Reviews of Angels & Demons - Movie Tie-In: A Novel
Book Review: Truly one of the best written books
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me begin by saying, that when it comes to books I'm a hard sell. I don't like to read just any book. I want a book to capture my attention early on and keep it. Leaving me breathless for more, forgetting sleep, food and all else. Now with that said, I am an extremely well read person. For anyone who has not yet read this book, there is a reason why it has been on the Bestseller liss everywhere world wide. This book was amazing. I've nothing but good things to say about it. Dan Brown literally out-did himself in writing this magnificent piece of fiction.
I truly believe this book was better than The Da Vinchi Code, although Da Vinchi Code shone on it's own. If the Lost Symbol is anything like Angels and Demons, I definitely cannot wait!
Book Review: Death of Literature
Summary: 1 Stars
After finishing this book I was so happy to get it back onto my shelf. Not only is Dan Brown a horrible writer, but the twists and turns of the book are enough to incite laughter. I thought getting through Brown's cheesy and preachy religious rantings would be the worst part. Boy, was I wrong! Not only does every artist, president, and poet from the past 600 years pop up on every other page, but the characters and plot are flat and lifeless. I felt no attachment to any character and could care less whether they lived or died. As the plot progressed and "surprises" were revealed, I found my self laughing out loud in disgust. I think the Vatican banned it no so much for being a threat to Christianity, but for being a horrible book in general!Book Review: Angels & Demons
Summary: 3 Stars
While I appreciated the various "puzzles" and plot twists throughout the book, I found a good portion of the story's twists a bit predictable. Also, a number of the events, while riveting in their delivery, weren't that believable, and might keep a reader wondering how the unspoken deux ex machina is going to save the protagonist, Robert Langdon, this time and the next. Considering some of the themes, however, it's a possibility that this was intentional.
Aside from the shortcomings mentioned just above, I did enjoy the story once it kicked into full motion, and found it to be an engaging read.
At this time, I haven't seen the movie.
Book Review: Action, Intellect, and Excitement All In One
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW. I am so impressed and amazed at how well Brown can keep a reader on the edge of their seat from the first page to the last! I love the main character, Robert Langdon, and his brilliant mind.
Brown definitely has a talent for weaving fact and fiction very tightly together throughout his books. Though there were some elements that I did not agree with with, or that did not fit my own beliefs, I could not pull myself away from the frantic, fast-paced excitement and intrigue of Angels and Demons. I was blown away by the tragic and surprising twist at the end. It was a great book that was worth every word!!!
Book Review: One of the BEST books I've ever read!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Angels and Demons is a must have book for those looking for suspense. I've always been a fan of movies and books that have tie-ins with history and have clues that lead to a big chase. Angels and Demons definitely delivers. Also be prepared the story has a couple of huge twists that you never expected to see coming. I found myself reading 100 pages a day and finished the book in a week. I'm currently reading The Da Vinci Code which is the sequel to Angels and Demons and I cannot wait to pick up a copy of The Lost Symbol in September of this year!!! Dan Brown is a genius. This is a MUST HAVE book!
