 Questo secondo volume mi è piaciuto molto di più del precedente, mi ha fatto comunque ridere, ma è costruito meglio.
Cominciando dal fatto che non ci viene ricordato ogni due pagine quando sia figo Robert, il che è già un miglioramento, questo libro è costruito meglio, le rivelazioni sono ben piazzate e tutti i personaggi hanno una loro utilità; Robert è molto più utile rispetto ad Angeli e Demoni, aggiunge dettagli importanti e gli vengono affidati alcuni spiegoni centrali per la trama.
Sarà che ho amato il film e quindi ero già affascinata dalla trama, ma questo volume mi è molto piaciuto e spero che la narrazione migliori nel prossimo libro.

So, I'm a little late to the trend.... but I've not had any spoils or anything, so I gave it a try.

The ending made me like it better and tempted me to give it four stars, but ultimately, I was too bothered by a couple things. First, I hated the cliff hangers. I'm not opposed to them in general, but he leaned so heavily on them to keep people reading, it became overindulgent. It just annoyed me in this one. Also, some of the puzzles were too easy, but I understand it's a difficult balance. Not everyone would get them so early, but for me. I solved one too early and was annoyed it took them so long to get to the answer because it seemed so obvious. In general, it just seemed to take a long time to get anywhere.

I'm also not sure how accurate everything is. I'm inclined to disbelieve most of it, but I think Brown did a pretty good job making it seem believable if you don't know too much about the things he touches on.

I also watched the movie, and I have to say the book is much better. It only makes sense because of all the explaining, which was actually my favorite part of it all.

I really liked this book. I was a little leery just because of the controversy that surrounded it, but after reading the book i'm not quite sure what all the fuss was about. This was a great FICTIONAL book. This book is not claiming anything. It has some real groups incorporated into the story, but the story it self is just that, a story. It was a great book, and Dan Brown is a phenomenal author!

No es algo que suela leer diariamente, pero fue un alivio descansar de lo común. Mi opinión de este libro no cambia mucho de las otras: Dan Brown es un genio, sin más. El final no fue del todo convincente, no obstante no le cambiaría nada de nada. Espero leer más de él pronto.
