It is an entertaining re-read. It is not my favorite Dan Brown, but it is a compelling story of adventure. There were portions that I just skimmed. I love googling the sculptures mentioned and seeing the detail and hard work put into the book

This book really had me in a chokehold in so many places and I just could not put it down. Similar though, there were some places at the end that became hard to read. Overall, a fascinating book and one I don't think I will forget for a while.

Alles in allem hat es mir viel Spaß gemacht dieses Buch zu lesen. 

Die meiste Zeit mochte ich den Schreibstil und die Cliffhanger und Plottwists, ich hatte das Gefühl, dass ich dadurch immer mehr lesen wollte und die Spannung gut gehalten wurde. Dennoch muss ich leider sagen, dass genau das mich gegen Ende, ungefähr im letzten Viertel, extrem genervt hat. So nach dem Motto zu viel des Guten. Alles war ein Plottwist... Dadurch hat sich das Ende meiner Meinung nach viel zu lang gezogen. 
Tatsächlich hat es mich auch ein bisschen enttäuscht, dass so wenig in der Geschichte der Wahrheit entsprochen hat. Mir ist klar, dass es ein fiktiver Roman ist, aber da der Autor sich an viele echte Gebäude und Skulpturen in Rom und im Vatikan gehalten hat, hatte ich gehofft, dass er bezüglich des Illuminatenordens sich auch an den bekannten Fakten orientiert und dann seine Fiktion darum bastelt, anstatt den Großteil frei zu erfinden. Vor allem weil ich finde, dass der Prolog/das Vorwort den Anschein erweckt, als würde alles außer die Charaktere und Handlung wirklich existieren. 

Naja, trotzdem hab ich es gerne gelesen und schnell verschlungen. Ein gutes Buch, wenn man mal was spannendes will.
