Angels And Demons: (Robert Langdon Book 1)

CERN Institute, Switzerland: a world-renowned scientist is found brutally murdered with a mysterious symbol seared onto his chest.

The Vatican, Rome: the College of Cardinals assembles to elect a new pope. Somewhere beneath them, an unstoppable bomb of terrifying power relentlessly counts down to oblivion.

In a breathtaking race against time, Harvard professor Robert Langdon must decipher a labyrinthine trail of ancient symbols if he is to defeat those responsible - the Illuminati, a secret brotherhood presumed extinct for nearly four hundred years, reborn to continue their deadly vendetta against their most hated enemy, the Catholic Church.

The writing comes across as a bit cheesy at times but I like the historical references and the use of some of my favourite works of art as part of the story.

Enthralling

Captivating from start to finish, I loved the history, the rich culture and the symbology throughout the book. I was riveted from start to finish.

Love it! Main characters are actually good people. Mystery is complex and surprising. I feel like true love exists. I’ll definitely reread it again soon!
