My (current) favorite Dan Brown book.

I love all of the characters and the plot is extremely tense. Dan Brown might not have the best writing, but he can hook a reader in 50 pages.
The entire story seemed really good, and the twists actually took me by surprise at some points (not the ending, though. That one was predictable.)
This book turned out to be a lot more violent than I thought, seeing how this is one of his earlier works, he probably decided to take it safe after the Da Vinci Code.
Dan Brown has kept his repetitive story for a long time. You could replace Michael Tolland with Robert Langdon and it’s just the same as his other books.
Details like Tolland and Pickering’s grief, and Rachel’s are barely touched upon. It had some potential but it didn’t really affect the rest of the story.

Overall, great, captivating story, with a few flaws and signs of repetitiveness.

Slow start, good middle, disappointing end

There was something about this book I just didn't like. It was a horrible book just kind of fell flat for me.

I enjoyed The Davinci Code, and while waiting for Angels and Demons to become available at the library, I picked this one up to listen to on the commute to work.

It felt like a pretty typical storyline, but I enjoyed it enough to wonder about how it was going to end.

The plot was very exciting and I was absolutely shocked with the controller reveal, but the ending was (unfortunately) clunky. I immediately fell in love with Norah, I want her to scream at me ngl.

Loved this book! Dan Brown is a mind boggling genius!
