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.

Critic reviews

"Brown's tale is laced with twists and shocks that keep the reader wired right up to the last revelation." (Publishers Weekly)

Loved it.

I enjoyed listening to this audio book very much. Great story and narrated well.

Finally

Decent story but I didn't think it would ever end. On to the next book in the series.

Surprised by the ending.

I won’t spoil it for anyone but I was very much surprised by the outcome. Really good book!!!!!!

There be Dragons

I read this book many years ago … after the DaVinci Code book and movie. I obtained it via Audible but only after I discovered the unabridged version. I knew it would have all the details that make his books so worth the length.
It did and does.
Excellent narration
In regards to fact vs fiction?
…. The novel is displayed in the fictional, action adventure so if you choose to enter this door put on your reality suspension night vision goggles and enjoy the trip.
And Value….
It has some great stories and the essential theme is a live question that probably has universal appeal
The answer….
Totally the same…. Enjoy the questions but the actual answers are your own

Low Expectations, Still Disappointed

I thought I knew what I was getting with this book, but I was way off the mark. I thought there would be a little intrigue or interesting mystery to solve, but there was not. Everything was telegraphed miles ahead. It was boring from the beginning, and I stopped half way through. Life is too short to keep reading bad books.

Incredible narrator!!!

I loved this book so much and the narrator was excellent!!! I highly recommend this book!!!

The detail to everything

This was a compelling book. It shows us not to be rash with our decisions and react so quickly.

One of the best books ever written

From start to finish this book is an absolute Paige Turner. It is full of all kind of facts and interesting tidbits about physics in the Catholic Church. Is one of my all-time favorite books, especially if your fans of Dan Brown and Michael Crichton.

Listen for fun but not after eating

I enjoyed reading DaVinci Code and found Angels & Demons equally enjoyable. In fact the chapter structure makes it easier for short listening. I take the religous part with a grain of salt but found the gruesome descriptions stomach-turning. The grossness does detract slightly but so much that I would skip the book.

AMAZING READ ON DAY POPE DIED - COMPELLING!

Incredible story, keeps you guessing all the way through. Robert Langdon is a great character, so believeable and likable. Dan Brown is by far my favourite author as he researches every aspect of his writing so much so that you could believe he must know Popes/assasins/scientists/secret service agents/police. The way he describes various methods of a character dying/being killed puts shivers down your spine, where did he find out such details... Finished the book on the day the POPE DIED, which made the story even more surreal. After reading a Dan Brown novel, you just have to read all his others!
