ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Daniel
"Dan" Brown (born June 22, 1964) is an American author of thriller
fiction who is best known for the 2003 bestselling novel The Da Vinci
Code.
Brown's novels are treasure hunts set in a 24-hour period,
and feature the recurring themes of cryptography,
keys, symbols, codes, and conspiracy theories. His books have been
translated into 52 languages, and as of 2012, sold over 200 million copies.
Three of them, Angels & Demons (2000), The Da Vinci
Code (2003), and Inferno (2013), have been/are being
adapted into films.
SUMMARY
Angels and Demons involves a standard thriller fare.
It puts science and religion into conflict by reviving the Illuminati, a secret
society of scientists and freethinkers whose relationship with the Catholic
Church has long been, Brown indicates, intimate, tangled, and not fully known.
This secret society returns as a threat when the major church leaders are
gathered at the Vatican to elect a new pontiff. Increasing this centuries-old
tension is a more specific threat: the Illuminati claim to have stolen a rare
sample of antimatter and hidden it somewhere in the Vatican. It is highly
explosive if it comes in contact with normal matter, and it will do so when a
protective magnetic field runs out in twenty-four hours. Add to this the fact
that the four preferred candidates for the papacy have been kidnapped, and the
result is that Robert Langdon must decipher a grand puzzle and save the day
while half a dozen clocks are ticking.
PERSONAL REVIEWS
The book has been written in such a way that the peron
reading the book has to believe the Robert Langdon a simple professor can do
anything in just 24 hours.The book has an amazing starting with the murder of a
scientist but the next 50 pages are very boring and the person wishes to toss
the book away.But yes Dan Brown has mixed science,religion and fiction so
perfectly that the book later on takes some turns which forces the person to
read the book ahead.Once the book takes a turn the person things that Dan Brown is the best author.
Dan Brown is one of my favorite authors and really like his
books.Being a book lover I have read all his books and Dan Brown is indeed
really good at mixing things.
I would the rate the book 4.25 stars out of
5.Write your reviews and ratings in the comment box.
I would suggest all to read the book once as it tells you
many things about science and religion.Keep reading the blog and wait for my
next review on Dan Brown’s book ,The Da
Vinci Code.
