A review by bengthesnowball
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
4.0
3.5
This book is a very interesting case. In one sense it’s terrible and in another it’s absolutely brilliant
If yo were to judge this book on writing style, story structure, character development and the use of motifs / cliches you’d reach one conclusion: this book is terrible
On the other hand the level of creativity, research, the time put into the puzzles and the atmosphere in thus book is fanatic. Never have I had a book I’ve had to put down and look into the interesting references, facts and historical information quite like this one. Now that I’m finished I am eager to look into so many new bits of history and life that I wouldn’t be aware of if I didn’t read Angels and Demons.
This is my first Dan Brown book but I think it’s fair to presume none of his work could ever qualify aa elegant prose and this his books would probably make an average English teacher reel in horror. Nevertheless I would highly recommend this book despite it’s very obvious faults.
