Great book with an amazing touch of mystery and a cliff hanging end..it is a page-turner.Dan Brown is an amazing writer who won't let us put this down with the touch of thrill and puzzles in this book.Loved the book..but I was a little let down by the characters..I think.
but overall,Good Job!

Positives:
1)The mix of religious and historical elements adds a unique twist to the mystery.

2) Nice surprises

3)Bringing up the topic of "The Illuminati" and making all the puzzles up.

4)A nice antagonist

5)Cliff hanger revealing of the antagonist.


Negatives:

1)The characters.I don't know what is the problem but I just didn't want a romantic relationship between the main characters when the Vatican is going to burst into pieces..for God's sake!!!!!!!!


2)I hated how Langdon was successful in saving Vittoria..when he had a chance to save four poor cardinals but was not successful in saving even one of them.


3)Some people might object to the part of the story where a clergyman killed four respected cardinals just to prove that God was with him!

4)I am not a fan of the part of the story which tells about the Camerlengo's existence.Not possible and What?Dan!A priest and a nun getting into a relationship!

5)Again,Romance???????when people are about to die?

This is a good thriller, a little long, but worth every page!
