This is a novel that spans 456 pages in the hardback variety. I was hooked by the first page from the start! I simply couldn't put it back down! It really is a work of art. And once again Langdon comes in at the very beginning. His ability to read and understand symbols is put to the test on this book!


Langdon takes hold of the beautiful fiancee of a soon to be king. The whole event takes place in less than 14 hours. Amazing! The writing of Brown again makes it plausible that this could happen!

Langdon teams up with a computer named Winston, and if not for the computer the duo would not have been able to accomplish that that they must.

A death of the man who insituted a gala evening meant the couple were being stalked by the murderrer.

And once again, Langdon was left to wonder about his own religious views, if any. And in that, we are reminded of Angels and Demons, the book that was second best to The DaVinci Code. Brown has written a superb novel here. However, even that he has carried the hero from the first, it seems like he used a shortcut in the ending. It just didn't add up the way that it should. Perhaps Brown wrote it this way just to make us poor schmucks have to use our brain and ask, is the story even plausible?

That being said, I loved the book! Can't wait to read more!
