Personally, I think this is the best of the Robert Langdon books. I have read the other three and , while they are good fun reads, this one seemed to have more to it. I was immediately hooked both by the plot and desperately wanting to find out what happened. Is it going to be remembered as a faultless work of literature? Probably not, but it is an extremely fast-paced and thrilling read to start off your summer.

Another great story from a master storyteller. I've loved all of Dan Brown's books starring Robert Langdon. This one, however, just didn't seem as good as the previous three volumes. With those, I was sucked in from the beginning and unable to put the book down, but there was something a little different about this one.
I don't know if it was the fact that it starts with Robert having amnesia or the fact that Brown took so long to get around to the explanation of what actually happened, but this one didn't grab me by the throat like the previous books did. Still, it was a very enjoyable book, and once again Brown weaves just enough fact with his fiction to create a story that will make you stop and think.

Great writting, based on a very bad premise. It was a quite conflicting reading.

Not sure how I made it through the first 3/4 of this book but the last 150 pages or so saved it for me.

نجمة للتاريخ و الفن كما تعودنا من دان براون
نجمة للمفاجاءات التي أتت متأخرة بعض الشيء (بعد 200 صفحة تقريبا) لتضفي بعض من التشويق المعتاد في أعمال براون
نجمة للقضايا الأخلاقية و التساؤلات الفلسفية التي أثارتها القصة
للأسف قد أكون تعودت كثيراً على أسلوب براون، حتى ان الأمر لم يعد يثيرني مثل بداياتي معه :)
