Publisher's summary

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. Desperate 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, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth, the long-forgotten Illuminati lair.

Terrible performance

I have listened to other Dan Brown books which were narrated by Paul Michael and got spoiled. The performance was flawless. I am having a very hard time getting through Angels and Demons because of the narrator. I was looking forward to listening to this book but now I can not wait for it to be over. Character voices are extremely annoying and there are the constant breathing and swallowing noises of the narrator. I loved this book when I read it, now I am having a hard time listening to it.

Needs a dumb sidekick

I couldn't get past the first few hours of the professor making incredulous response to comments or questions. A scientist who never heard of CERN? A man who specializes in the history of religious symbols saying that religion and science have always been "oil and water" or that a priest could be a scientist? Must not have studied Newton. Maybe the prof needs a dumb sidekick to make these statements instead. I have enjoyed his other works so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt at three stars.

Great story telling.

Would you listen to Angels and Demons again? Why?

Its fiction, but it fitts in with the great story telling by Mr Brown.

What did you like best about this story?

Attention too detail about the Vatican that I didn't know about.

What does Richard Poe bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

He is a great actor, reader. He did his homework to bring the story to life.

Suspense & thrills

A great way to spend the commute- stuck in traffic while Robert Langdon races around Rome, trying to get a step ahead of a cunning killer!
Dan Brown enables you to visualize all the hidden niches and underground pathways of the Illuminati path with amazing clarity. . . I was enlightened!

Another great book! I couldn't stop listening

Well narrated and a roller coaster ride with more twists that the DaVinci Code! Dan Brown sure knows how to write a gripping novel. Now off to listen to Inferno!

Amazing

Would you listen to Angels and Demons again? Why?

I would listen to it again but maybe with a map so i could feel like I am a going around to the places with the characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Robert Langdon since he never gave up and could figure out everything just in time.

Have you listened to any of Richard Poe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. sorry

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

They already made a film.

Any additional comments?

I couldn't put this book down it was that good. It was 18 hours and finished in 2 days. Really looking forward to the next book :-)
