Angels and Demons

wish I had read prior to Da Vinci Code. very good makes you stop and think...

Brown's best to date. Better than Da Vinci Code. Great characters and believable events. Narrator is excellent

After having listened to The Da Vinci Code I was hoping the same person would be reading the story to us. The person reading this story has a gravelly voice that I don't like and I'm losing interst fast. I'd rather read it myself or wait until the movie comes out so I don't have to hear that unpleasant voice. I give it 3 stars for the story and no stars for the reader.

The reader is great. I really enjoyed his voice thru the story. The story itself is fairly good. I could not put it down even when I knew who the "Boss- Janus" was. The book's events are not too predictable but a little over half way of the book I was able to tell who the mastermind was even though Mr. Brown tried to throw a couple of plot twist.

This is probably the second best book by Dan Brown. It is as exciting as the DaVinci Code and a precursor to that novel. Couldn't turn it off once I got hooked into the story. One of the things that make this story even better is the selection of a great reader. The reader in this does an exceptional job.

Unlike the DaVinci code, I was glad when this book was finally over. During the last 1/3 of the book I kept feeling, can you finally end it, only to find out it went on and on... Although it was an interesting story, it just required too great a suspension of reality to make it reasonable, even with imagination, to listen to.

Despite the narration which I thought could be much better and a little bit of a rocky start to the book, I thought the book was a great. The detail of the symbology and it's relation to the plot was spell-binding, and I didn't want to stop listening once the book kicked into high gear. Let yourself get past the first 45 minutes, and you won't regret it.

I thought everything about this was great. Captivating and naration was excellent.

I my view, this is the best Dan Brown. I got so frustrated every time I arrived at work and had to stop. Pity I was at Rome before I read the book - now I want to go back to visit the places mentioned in the book.

I got pretty wrapped up in listening to this book, ignoring home & husband for some time so I could finish it. Sometimes, it was a hard go...
I've read the book, and thought it was pretty good, but listening actually seemed to
emphasize Mr. Brown's rather mediocre writing style. It's a pet peeve of mine
when writers can't stick to "he said: she said". When Mr. Brown's characters "insisted,"
"related," or "demanded," I remembered I was listening to a book, one that was perhaps written with a Thesaurus close to hand. I give it 3-stars because it's an interesting story; I
just didn't much care for the author's intrusive narrative style...
