DNF. idk, I was pretty excited to read it and other people told me they really remembered liking this book but I got so turned off by the constant racist portrayal of the sexually deviant stereotypic Arab antagonist, and then the entire climax is just the threat of sexual assault against the female supporting character acting as a motivator for the male protagonist. The plan was to read The DaVinci Code after this but I think I'll just look up a synopsis on youtube, really not enticed to read Dan Brown again. I was really interested by the theorization of religion as a social institution and I loved all the info about the Roman architecture and the rituals of the Vatican but it wasn't enough to keep me going with this one

I love that it touches upon sensitive topics like religion and science and the relationship between the 2. There was a fair amount of history in it too. As a stem student who believes religion and science work well together and is in love with history, I really loved it! The concept was thought out well. It had me on my toes the more time passed and midnight neared. All in all, it was a good read!
