World-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a cryptic symbol seared into the chest of a murdered physicist. What he discovers is unimaginable: a deadly vendetta against the Catholic Church by a centuries-old underground organization -- the Illuminati. In a desperate race to save the Vatican from a powerful time bomb, Langdon joins forces in Rome with the beautiful and mysterious scientist Vittoria Vetra. Together they embark on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, and deserted cathedrals, and into the depths of the most secretive vault on earth...the long-forgotten Illuminati lair.

Review of 'Angels & Demons' on Goodreads

3 étoiles

The book is okay-ish. The facts are so absurd that I've elected to ignore it - if you read this book and think "Oh, the author is so knowledgeable and attentive to details and match things up perfectly", then you should think again. Check the facts so that you're not misinformed.



One bonus star for the surprising twist, but I'm not sure I'd ever read books like this for a second time.
