Great book, not great audio quality

A great book read it years ago in high school and really wanted to have a second go at it. My only complaint is the audio quality isn't very good almost sounds like he's talking into a can.

Gripping cliffhangers throughout.

Gripping cliffhangers throughout.
Never wanted to stop listening. Totally enjoyed this title! I recommend it to anyone who liked a good mystery!

Masterpiece

It does have a lot of fiction on the history side, but craft wise is a masterpiece of a story.

Wonderful book, won't want to stop listening

Dan Brown writes an amazing story of the church history and the demons that haunt it. The reader of the book (Poe - I think) is about the best I've heard and really brings the book to life.

Angels and Demons

One of the best books I have ever listened to. I recommended to my husband who doesn't do much reading and he couldn't put it down either. It is too bad the reading of the book is affected by the noises that the reader makes.

Angels and Demons

I found the book to be spellbinding. The plot was so engaging that I had difficulty completing the tasks at hand. As important to the plot and story/character development was the narrator who was excellent.
