When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to his first assignment to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol -- seared into the chest of a murdered physicist -- he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati...the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth. The Illuminati has now surfaced to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy -- the Catholic Church.

    This was the book where I became a Dan Brown fan and avid reader. I definitely recommend Dan Brown, who is an amazingly creative author/writer that makes use of a writing style that is sophisticated while accessible.

    Thrilling page turner of a story. I too share Langdon's fascination with symbols and Church history.

    Too bad the movie was so awful.

    Loved the history & mystery. Was glad I was told to read this first then Da Vinci code.

    I am an avid fan of all Dan Brown's novels. I love how he holds your attention with his writing. His historical details are excellent. I love anything to do with religious history and found this novel excellent. The only other author that has held my attention like this was Taylor Caldwell and her books too had religious connotations (but of a more subtle bent). I have read most of Dan Brown's work and so far have not found any fault with his books. They are spell binding, give lots of detail and history and cover topics dear to my heart.

    Keep up the good work Mr Brown, I love what you write and want to read more of your work. I would recommend his books to everyone especially to those interested in religious history.

    Another great novel by Dan Brown! I bought the "special edition" that comes with illustrations, and let me tell you, it gives the story a whole new dimension when you can actually SEE what he's writing about! He writes with so much detail, and the mystery keeps you guessing til the very end :)

    And obviously, I loved the movie, too!

    I read this immediately after reading Da Vinci Code. I would reverse that order if I could. This book was great - with the intrigue, history, and insights into the papacy and papal elections which I would not otherwise explore. It was a race against time and intriguing from the outset - though there were a couple of squeamish parts. I recently re-read the book and saw the movie - the book is infinitely better since there are subtleties and revelations that the movie does not address. A page turner even the second time around.

    Dan Brown...that should say it all for you right there. The man is the KING of books. I have yet to read work of his I did not like.
    This book I could not put down. It had me from the first few pages.
    I plan to collect and keep ALL the series book form and DVD.

    By far my favourite author. He has the most interesting plots, and always loves creating a good twist!
    Everytime I read a new book of his, I always guess what the *special* twist is, and read on. I'm never right!
    Angels and Demons is my favourite of all, and ironically, I first opened this book to study for a class.
    I love the little "facts" (that aren't really facts) that are included, but makes you really question society and artwork.
    Maybe it's because I am in love with Da Vinci, and italian renaissance...Or maybe it's because of the suspense and thrill of it all, but I always recommend Angels and Demons to anyone in need of a good read.
    Dan Brown's writing is not the best, and his style is more of a literal, rather than descriptive tone.
    It's like watching a movie..but in a book (though the movie wasn't a very good representation of the book itself)

    Another great book by Dan Brown. It is filled with suspense and mystery and will have you thinking and guessing until the very end. The movie doesn't do this book justice.
