I enjoyed "Angels and Demons" because I was entertained, and I enjoyed the descriptions of Rome. I also like how this book, and the "Da Vinci Code", both played on the antagonism between religion (the Church) and science.Unmanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02430139387595895191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22942201.post-79871389254038972482009-09-29T21:32:22.947+05:302009-09-29T21:32:22.947+05:30First time commenting here.

Hence my confusion and compulsion to comment today...<br />...Please please tell me what was to like in Angels and Demons? DVC was kinda sorta path breaking in an openly-inviting-controversy manner. <br /><br />p.s. I spent money on the Lost Symbol and will start soon.

How many times will he play the hero-afraid-of-heights-conquering-his-fear card? One would assume that three books later, the hero has already conquered his fear, and might even be sky-diving (which he sorta did in Angels and Demons, no?)!Pallavi Sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772902466628490680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22942201.post-9027430468031492582009-09-29T01:29:27.187+05:302009-09-29T01:29:27.187+05:30Sarkywoman: Well, I prefer to read thrillers that ...Sarkywoman: Well, I prefer to read thrillers that actually thrill me.<br /><br />@lankr1ta: :-)Unmanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02430139387595895191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22942201.post-8656509025366232132009-09-28T19:44:11.378+05:302009-09-28T19:44:11.378+05:30Like I wrote on my blog, this is more lost than sy...Like I wrote on my blog, this is more lost than symbol!!!!Dr. Ally Critterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191162451745534259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22942201.post-88782971750374374022009-09-28T14:16:20.942+05:302009-09-28T14:16:20.942+05:30Bah..
