Jeremy’s Little Corner Of The Web…

I finished reading another Dan Brown book last night, "Angels and Demons". I found it quite enjoyable, and I liked it as much as "The Da Vinci Code". It's definitely one of those books that makes you want to constantly turn the page and not put it down!

I thought "The Da Vinci Code" portrayed Opus Dei and the Catholic Church in a very negative way, and it would be easy to say that Dan Brown comes across as anti-Catholic. However, this novel is different from the other book, in that the protagonist, Robert Langdon, helps the Church and tries to save it. The cardinals and other members of the Vatican are all portrayed as very noble and honourable people, unlike some of the characters from "The Da Vinci Code". Perhaps just to stir people and cause a bit of controversy, there's a twist in the end that perhaps reflects the sentiments from "The Da Vinci Code".

There are a couple of large twists at the end of the book, which I wasn't expecting. One twist happens, which you don't expect, and then another, while you're still in shock. I'm not sure about all of the content of the book and whether it's based on fact, but it's a novel, so who cares?

I think I'm going to have to buy the other books by the author, when I've got some money…!
