Reviews with content warning for Violence - Angels & Demons

This was a reread for me (but my first time listening to it on audio). I really enjoyed it! i basically couldn’t put it down for a week. it has all the hallmarks of an interesting thriller: action, multiple perspectives and timelines, a secret bad guy and best yet, a mixture of science, religion, and mystery!

i would say the last 2 hours or so dragged for me unfortunately, especially the big reveal at the end. but overall, i would still recommend it.

Well written and cohesive, with very different characters and plot twists till the end. I enjoyed it, though it isn’t something I’d pick up again, mostly because it’s just not something that interests me. I’m just not the target audience.
With how long it is though,

it’s hard to believe the whole book took place over less than 24 hours, much less that most of it took place over about 6 of those hours.

I had high hopes for this book as I've heard great things about Dan Brown's writing but honestly this fell flat in so many areas that I found myself laughing out loud at how ridiculous everything was, and laughing at how forced the relationship between Robert and Vittoria was...and then the whole book just ends with an insinuation that they have sex? So weird. So beyond weird. Such an unnecessary plot point, and along with her being almost raped by the Hassassin. It was an interesting read for sure, but this was most definitely written by a man and for a male audience. I'll give a few more of his books a shot but this was a laaaaaame introduction.
