Angels and Demons

De: Dan Brown

Narrado por: Richard Poe

An ancient secret brotherhood. A devastating new weapon of destruction. An unthinkable target...

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A reading experience you will never forget. Dan Brown has created another frantic-paced thriller that rivals the best works of Clancy and Cussler." (Book Browser Reviews)
"Brown's tale is laced with twists and shocks that keep the reader wired right up to the last revelation" (Publishers Weekly)

Thought provoking!

Dan Brown does it again with this one. A great tale of adventure for the thinking reader. I suggest reading/listening to Angels and Demons BEFORE D. Code. Simply because Langden, the main character in both novels is much "better at what he does" in code.

Pope Who?

Aweosme book; Dan Brown is amazing. I love all of his books, and this one is NO different. He really knows how to keep a reader like me in a book. I am not a fast readers, but I read this book in 48 hours, during finals period at college!! The ending was different, but nothing new from Brown.

Tops The Da Vinci Code

Although The Da Vinci Code got a great deal more attention, I enjoyed this book much more. I have not "heard" it yet so my comments are soley about the paper version not the audible version, which I cannot comment on.

I enjoyed the virtual tour of the Vatacan and surrounding area. The suspense was all there too, keeping the pages turning. I learned one square yard of material can save your life.

like Da Vinci Code? You'll Love this

Reading (I mean listening) to this book was like attending the most interesting art history (or religions) class ever. Perhaps the plot is a little thin and predictable, however it grabbed my attention and would not let it go. A must read.listen! This review is similar to the one I wrote for the Da Vinci Code, because the books are very similar in their basic layout.

Angels and Demons

Good Book if not 'a little bit over the top' at times. Can say I have enjoyed listening to it. The reader was excellent to.

only a little dissappointed

Audio specific: Many busy characters without much differentiation in voices - gets a little confusing when distracted by driving, etc... Who? What? Pretty good at level 3 quality.
As for book review in general - found the romantic sub-plot to be poorly presented and silly. But the story was very engaging and well told overall.

Angels and Demons

Spellbinding rapid flowing. Felt drawn into an unknown world. Wished I'd done it before Divinci but it did not and doesnot detract.

A DaVinci Code Clone, exciting and fun

I think that this book was darker than The Da Vinci Code, but just as intriguing, fast-paced and thought provoking. The characters continued to be ones you cared about, and the religious intrigue and suspense made this a real page turner. Consipracy theory abounds, death and destruction are all around us and, of course, a characteristic Dan Brown puzzle exists which the main characters have to solve in time to avoid dire consequences. This book stands on its own and does not require one to have read Da Vinci and vice versa.

Sets up the Da Vinci Code

I heard/read the Da Vinci Code before getting this one. I must admit I liked the Da Vinci Code better but I think you must listen to this one to understand the main character. It is a must read! Brown has made me change my views on Christianity (not that he intended to do so). Then ending to this book was actually better than the ending to the Da Vinci Code.

Too Much

Too much violence, over the top. I finished it because I started it.
