“Angels and Demons” is the book that Dan Brown should have written after “The Da Vinci Code”.
— Unfortunately, he didn’t.
The author makes too many silly mistakes in this book, many of which, I think, are consequence from the first of Dan Brown’s aberration called “Digital Fortress”.
I’ve read a lot of comments that say that “Angels and Demons” is better than “The Da Vinci Code”, and I can agree with it until a certain point.
The plot of “Angels and Demons” is more of an edge-of-your-seat plot while “The Da Vinci Code” is a bit slower, but the way Dan Brown wrote it is far more amateurish. I got to a point in which I said… “Shit, that is hard to believe, but ok. I’ll give the author that… and then shit… again, ok, I’ll give him that too”, but when I came to the scene with the helicopter, I said enough is enough!
That big and incredible stupid mistake spoiled everything . I just couldn’t read the rest of the book with the same eyes. I know that this is Fiction, but we are not stupid, are we?
