I have to admit that I really enjoyed this book. Dan Brown gets a lot of stick for his books, but personally I think that he is an excellent storyteller, and too many people, some of whom should know better, try to read too much into them rather than just accepting them for what they are, well written works of fiction. There are so many twists in this novel that in the end you find that every assumption you have made is wrong. Prepare for the unbelievable and you will enjoy.

Fast, informative and intriguing! A virtual tour through the Vatican city with an amazing and nail biting storyline. Not the best by Brown but definitely within the top 3. P.S. Readers of this book, please don't watch the movie!!

Dan Brown has proved that he indeed is the best thriller writer on this planet. He is capable of presenting astounding physics in a simple and lucid way, but he is NOT a science writer. He also delves deep into secret societies like the Illuminati, and that's amazing! Suspense and utter surprise jumps at you off every page.
