[The Da Vinci Code] and [Angels and Demons] by Dan Brown

Alright, so I've just finished reading these 2 books. I'll give my reviews.

The Da Vinci Code :

This book describes the attempts of Robert Langdon, Professor of Religious Symbology at Harvard University, to solve the murder of renowned curator Jacques Saunière of the Louvre Museum in Paris. A baffling cipher is found near his body. Saunière's granddaughter, Sophie Neveu and Langdon attempt to sort out the bizarre riddles and are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci.

My response :

I WON'T touch on the religious parts of this book. Overall I find this book an excellent read, like all the other reviews. Unlike your normal fairy tales, this book is special. If you read the book, you definitely will learn something - for my case, I learned about PHI, the golden ratio.

Anyway, there are plenty of conspiracies in this book - exceptionally thrilling with surprises at every corner. Heck, come to think of it, the moment I borrowed it from the school library, I never let it out of my sight! Even when I'm going to the canteen or the toilet, I found myself, mysteriously, carrying the book for no apparent reason! The plot is just excellent - how the author places the clue to the journey of Robert Langdon to find the Holy Grail - it all flowed like a masterpiece.

I give this book a rating of : 4.9/5

Another of Dan Brown's book I would recommend is [Angels and Demons]

Angels and Demons :

The plot follows Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, as he tries to stop what seems to be the Illuminati, a legendary secret society, from destroying the Vatican City with the newly-discovered power of antimatter.

My response :

Again, I won't touch the religious parts. Another marvelous book by Dan Brown - a fascinating read. Although I did rush some of the parts, (yet I still managed to grasp the important parts ), I still found it quite a nice read.

And what really got me reading this book would be the Illuminati. The way they brand their victims with those symbols really got my interests - not to mention how they crack the codes and poems, leading them to places I'd never thought it really existed. And the best part would be the antimatter - something so powerful I did not even know it existed ( before reading the book )

My friend and cousin recommended me this book, and now, I recommend this book to you.

My rating : 4.9/5 ( maybe cause there were some boring, irrelevant parts )

Anyway, I'm currently reading Digital Fortress now and Deception Point ( both also by Dan Brown ) later. I'll give my ratings later.

I'm sure these 2 books won't disappoint me and entertain me as much as The Da Vinci Code.
