Summary:

Robert Langdon, a professor of symbology at Harvard University, has been known as the genius professor who deals with symbol and cryptology. Meanwhile, after a canister of volatile antimatter is stolen from CERN, Langdon must go there race with time, and a mounting body count, to solve the puzzle which provided by the theft to keep Vatican City from being vaporized in an Illuminati pattern. The novel begin with the murder of Leonardo Vetra, a physicist at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, by an unknown culprit. CERN, home to the world’s most advanced particle accelerators, has been researching and accumulating potentially explosive antimatter. The CERN director, Kohler, discovers the body branded with a symbol of the Illuminati and the antimatter which had been stolen.

Langdon with Vittoria, Vetra’s adopted daughter, head to the Vatican City to try and stop the Illuminati from whatever they have planned. They got no clue but the Illuminati symbols in each victims.

The race with time, mystery, ideology, are combined well in the novel and yet it have a unpredictable ending.

Favorites:

Since this is the first Dan Brown’s tetralogy of Robert Langdon, so far its is good. My favorite style from Dan is that he always can provide unpredictable ending. When he described a character which tend to make the reader assumed that perhaps this character is the villain, yet in the end of book it turns out differently.

More to add, the way Langdon described the places for each scene is also my favorite. How does it seems at the moment, how’s the people, how’s the scenery, the more I read Dan Brown’s work, the more I want to travel.

Rating:

4/5

Substantive Thought:

I read Da Vinci Code first before I get here. Yet the plot and the story are quite similar with da Vinci Code but I think Da Vinci Code are more better. I know fiction shouldn’t be always seems real. But in my perspective, A sci-fi novel, or fiction will have a good quality when it is close to reality. A lot of character in Angles and Demonds are too good to be true. Yet, Dan Brown seems like doesn’t really know about the scientific terms which he brought into his story. But after all, it is still a good book that should be on your list.

This is a tremendously amazing book and I recommend you guys to read it.
