Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

... night and left it at my friend house, but they seem to be following the book pretty well. I am now thinking of starting Angels and Demons...we'll see how this one goes but if it is about symbology I should like it.

... or more reviews. Would I enjoy The da Vinci Code (744 reviews as of this posting)? I want to know how someone who hated Angels and Demons as much as I did thought about it, not someone who owns signed first editions of every Dan Brown book ever published.

Angels and Demons

I loved that reference to Angels and Demons because along with DaVinci code it is one of my most irritating books ever. The reason is the over the top ending that just keeps coming with more over the top endings. I wanted so badly to dig right through the book and shout to the author "Stop ...

... as irritating when she was back on native soil with Jim at the end, and wasn't that keen on the way the narrative went all Angels and Demons with a bunch of extra 'twists' at the end. It would be have been a beautiful enough book with Hanna simply forming the investigative link between the ...

As usual I've got quite a list but Angels by Marian Keyes is open at the moment. Then I think I'll dig into On the Edge by Ilona Andrews

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

... was pretty entertaining - and then EVERYONE read it and it was so ridiculous the fuss that was made over it. I didn't read Angels and Demons, but will probably listen to the audio of Lost Symbol when we finally get it. It's not unusual that I have to wait a long time for a book, but that is ...

... and self-respect), he might be tolerable. His prose is eye-ball-rapingly awful. (Then again, I couldn't make it past Angels and Demons Chapter 1 without my eyes bleeding.) Reading it was like, well, this ... http://www.fantasymundo.com/galeria/imagenes/dune/dune04.jpg "The pain!!!"

... to do so. Ok then lets get started with: Book 1# The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. I read The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons in about three/four days each so I reckon I could zip through this pretty quickly.

#15 scarpettajunkie I know what you mean by having the ending come before the ending. I felt that same way about Angels and Demons especially.

... who stare out of the computer saying "Jo jo!" when I get a word right. time. **blushing** FlossieT I have read Angels and Demons already!! But not those others. I'll have a look this weekend. A tag hunt on Basel found some German novels - Hunkeler und der Fall Livius by Hanjo ...

Actually, if the Large Hadron Collider is involved, clearly you should read (spit) Angels and Demons ;-) There's a Graham Greene - Dr Fischer of Geneva that might be worth a read? Also recommended to me: I'm Not Stiller - Max Frisch. The good ol' LibraryThing tagmash is always good for ...

... I shall have to give it a try. I am one of the few who "confusedly" enjoyed The Da Vinci Code and actually really Angels and Demons. Maybe this winter when I don't have so much going on and so many books lined up I will read The Lost Symbol. My family are not Masons, but as my ...

... believe I've crossed it right now. I actually expect this to be a somewhat less painful albeit blander experience than Angels and Demons since I've already a) seen the movie and b) read Angels and Demons, so must be doubly inoculated to whatever passes for English in Dan Brown's world.

From Arkholt's library I have to pick Angels and Demons by Dan Brown I keep seeing this book on the bookstore shelves and never pick it up. I think it might be about time that I did.

The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown *** I was excited to read this as I loved both Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code. After reading it, I have to admit that I am a little disappointed. I felt the plot was the same as Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code, with but a few changes. Helped ...

I showed him Angels and Demons while it fouled our house and he indicated that it didn't make sense. It didn't hold his attention. I could hardly get him to look at a single page. He thought it was stoopid. I think this proves that my dog is far more intelligent than millions of people. My dog ...

I must admit to having read Angels and Demons and found the only good thing to be the pacing. It drug me along at such a breakneck speed that, as Depression_Bird said, "I only wasted a few hours...".

... is hard enough; can't imagine having the stamina or the eye-Kevlar to bear reading it again. I couldn't get past Ch. 1 of Angels and Demons I enjoy a good thriller about nefarious conspiracies, but Dan Brown writes like shit. Literally. If you want conspiracies, read The Illuminatus Trilogy ...

... normally read thrillers, so this has been a present surprise so far. It has some similar themes to Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons, but is better written. Anyway, it's a lot of fun. I've still got Rant on audiobook. I have to give Palahniuk props for the chapters on boosted ...

Update on The Templar Legacy: As much as I may make fun of thrillers, or at least Angels and Demons, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a genre that emphasizes high concepts, sympathetic leads, obvious villains, suspense and lots of action. I'm just flummoxed by authors ...

... Dan Brown's Deception Point which was a delicious jump up and down and throw the book thriller. Much has been said about Angels and Demons and of course the old tired saw, The Da Vinci Code, but this book was perfect in every way and I would not have changed anything. I got THAT book from S ...

... by my visceral reaction to what should be such a fun piece of bibliophilic fluff. Heck, I think I got more laughs out of Angels and Demons than I did The Eyre Affair. I think Fforde is just not for me.

I also remember reading Angels and Demons after The Da Vinci Code. What surprised me was how very similar those two books are. The format is practically the same. It's as if Brown didn't quite have the success he wanted with A&D and simply re-wrote the book in an attempt to hit it big next time ...

Angels and Demons - It's only saving grace was that by the last 100 pages or so, it had reached so-bad-it's-good status. Talk about unintentional comedy. I really don't understand how people can take it seriously, though. A Prayer for Owen Meany - Didn't hate it, but generally underwhelmed. ...

... recommendation to space out the reading between The Angel's Game and The Shadow of the Wind. I guess it's like reading Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code. I read The Da Vinci Code first and then followed it immediately with Angels and Demons and the latter really suffered for me. ...

... for now, I'm going to skip over my whole pros/cons checklist on Palahniuk.) So, I have to confess that, just as with Angels and Demons, there is an element of morbid curiosity to my choice of this book. So far (Disc 1), I'm enjoying it. It's structured as an oral history, an assemblage ...

25) Angels and Demons by Dan Brown Well, my hopes were high after The Da Vinci Code. I read that one in a day and couldn't put it down. Sadly, Angels and Demons didn't QUITE live up to expectations in terms of quick reading or 'not-being-able-to-put-it-down-ness' (there's probably an ...

... of tea, and the most friendly cat I ever met. While I was away I finished The Big Over Easy, read Ella Enchanted and Angels and Demons, and now I'm over halfway through Breaking Dawn. I was waiting to read the last two until this holiday, so I could really let myself sink into them ...

... Holy Smoke I've read "Hackers" and the "Da Vinci Code". The latter is in my library, and the former should be. Also Angels and Demons, which I liked better than the Da Vinci Code and whose movie was also better.

... Angels. Great series thus far, but the first book was better. Right now, I am tackling a bunch of stuff... I am reading Angels and Demons so I can give it back.

62. Angels and Demons by Dan Brown (572 pages) I reread this before seeing the movie, which I hope to do tomorrow. It was good and suspenseful, as all Brown's books are. I've heard the movie isn't very faithful to the book, but we'll see! The twist at the very end of this novel is totally ...

Earlier in the week, I finished the audiobook of Angels and Demons. I think I'll have to side with the critics when it comes to Brown, although the ending of the book was incredibly (if unintentionally) funny. I just finished The Collected Stories of Isaac Babel. Babel was a Russian Jew, ...

Welcome to the group. Will you be going to see the movie of Angels and Demons?

Left the wacky hijinks of Rome and Vatican City in Angels and Demons for the sunny beaches of Duma Key, Florida. I'm also spending some time with the Red Cavalry in Poland with Isaac Babel.

36. Angels and Demons by Dan Brown - finished 5/25/09 In an odd bit of coincidence (or is it?) my local paper ran an editorial called "The success and dishonesty of Dan Brown's stories" today. The piece ...

Just finished the audiobook of Angels and Demons, which had a deliriously silly ending. My resistance finally broke down at the final chase scene, which seemed like it should have been scored to Yakety Sax. I don't think I'll ever read Dan Brown again, though.

Is it possible for bad novels to cause Stockholm Syndrome? I'm almost done with Angels and Demons, but for the last few disks I've moved beyond irritation or incredulousness to a sort of giddy delight in the campy grotesquerie of the whole climax. The humor value is enhanced by Brown's ...

I have not read Angels and Demons but I have read The Lilac Bus

I have not read Death of a Salesman but I have read Angels and Demons

Update on Angels and Demons: Dan Brown has now officially earned my hatred. In Disc 11, the action comes to a screeching halt for a flashback where a Swiss Guard and the Pope's chamberlain discuss how God can be all-knowing and all-loving when there is so much suffering in the world. Aargh! ...

I'm listening to Angels and Demons on audiobook. I picked this up out of morbid curiousity. I'd like to say it's more boring than it really has a right to be, but I've found that problem before with modern thrillers. (Not that I've read that many.) I'm also starting The Collected Stories ...

I enjoyed Angels and Demons despite at least one big plot hole and a couple of predictable twists. I guess I'm easily pleased :) next up I'm back on the bookring trail with The Time We Have Taken, a book I'm not terribly excited about it as I borrowed The Art Of The Engine Driver from my ...

No need to even start Angels and Demons then---these comments are probably much more fun.

Update on Angels and Demons: Holy s@#$! Robert Langdon just claimed that the Christian practice of Holy Communion was borrowed from the Aztecs! Um, I don't even need Wikipedia to guess which orifice he pulled that out of. Sometimes I wonder if Dan Brown has a clue how ridiculous this ...

Update on Angels and Demons: I have to admit, I was doing okay with the abuses of historical accuracy, scientific theory, and the English language. Then, on disc 6, Dan Brown introduces a sassy black woman character. It's not enough to earn my hatred, but, seriously, is no cliché to be left ...

Book Started: Angels and Demons Category: Audiobooks For reasons I won't get into, I started A&D even though I haven't finished Duma Key yet. I'll admit straight out that my expectations are pretty low going into this one. (Why am I reading it? Morbid curiousity?) From what little I've ...

Okay, so I stayed up late (LATE!) tonight and watched The Last House on the Left and Repo Man. (I also saw Angels and Demons. Three movies in a day is too many!) I remembered not liking The Last House on the Left, but oh man, watching it now... that movie sucks

Book 25 - Angels and Demons by Dan Brown I was going to watch the movie sometime this week so I decided to read the book real fast since it is a Dan Brown book and they can be read real fast. I enjoyed it much like I enjoyed The Da Vinci Code. I'm not a huge fan of Dan Brown's writing ...

Angels and Demons

The Octopus by Frank Norris Demons (aka The Devils, The Possessed) by Fyodor Dostoevsky Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain The Master and Margherita by Mikhail Bulgakov Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol Martin Chuzzlewit by Charles Dickens

Angels and Demons stank too. Surely they couldn't have been surprised that Da Vinci was putrid too ? Though A&D was around a while before the hoopla of Da Vinci took off. Dan Brown is from my state and he used to come to some of the local stores to flog A&D in the beginning.

I haven't read The Da Vinci Code, so i have no idea if the book's plot revolves around why ejj will never read Angels and Demons. It could do, but it seems a little unlikely. Isn't the main plot something to do with a religious conspiracy? Maybe ejj is in a sub-plot. I have read Papillion.

I'm with you on the Dan Brown thing, stretch. He's not exactly quality literature but he's entertaining. I loved Angels and Demons and I enjoyed The DaVinci Code. I do have to say, though, that if I had the choice to make over again, I wouldn't go near Deception Point with a 10 foot pole :)

Well, my wife read all the previous Dan Brown books prior to The Da Vinci Code, but I could only read Angels and Demons which I thought was better than the Da Vinci Code, but couldn't drum up an interest in Deception Point or Digital Fortress. I guess the author I read all the way ...

... to deal with. My boyfriend liked it because he likes exciting stuff like that and it made him think a bit. He disliked Angels and Demons, though. After that he realized Dan Brown had a formula, and a kind of bad one, and decided to read my recommendations instead. =)

... but I liked the adventure and treasure-hunting side to it xD I'm also 17 and obsessed with controversy too... I thought Angels and Demons was better. Eragon... meh :/ Murtagh is the only reason I read it xD As to giving books a try, I always at least TRY to read it, whether it's getting ...

Another non-fiction historical account mentioned on another group thread is Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K. Massie. Great book about a tragic time in Russian history. So many incredible "characters" including the ever intriquing Rasputin.

... bestiary - Memnoch The Devil Eyes of the Dragon Minotaur Seawitch Cycle of the Werewolf Angels and Demons Gryphon Dark Gods

Number 1 most popular = The Da Vinci Code Number 100th = Angels and Demons 10% = North and South by John Jakes Interesting that Dan Brown's books are numbers 1 and 100 and I haven't read either. I bought them as a set.

I dislike Dan Brown's works due to their predictable nature, not due to a misplaced sense of elitism. Both Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code are very formulaic mystery/thrillers that, with an infusion of "controversy", managed to earn a veil of credibility and and the aura of "literatu ...

... Gabaldon series, too. I'm one of the fans when it comes to The DaVinci Code and one of the grumps when it comes to Angels and Demons. I have seldom felt so let down by an ending. >13: I'm also reading Reading Lolita in Tehran, which is really interesting, but kind of slow-going, ...

... Then again, he felt at least a little more personable in the book. Don't shoot me please: I'm looking forward to seeing Angels and Demons on screen. I think it was the better of the two. The Last Unicorn - No one has mentioned this one yet, either... but it's an animated movie. I heard ...

I resisted until I couldn't any longer and finally read Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown. Whenever a book is being touted in the press and gets all sorts of news coverage I kind of have this knee jerk reaction that I'm not going to read it. I don't know why but I finally ...

... two are the basis for most of the book... It doesn't help that the characters are unbelievable and the plot is wacky. Angels and Demons is also amongst the worst books I've read, most of the premises for the plot are "completely bonkers" and doesn't make much sense. You also see his ...

... Science of Dual-Brain Psychology by Fredric Schiffer borrowed from the library. Fascinating so far. About to start Angels and Demons mostly because I want to offer it on Bookmooch and Bookins while people are still seeking it. I've read mixed reviews, so I'll wait and see how I like it. ...

I have to say that the one Dan Brown book that's still on my shelf is Angels and Demons and that's only because I absolutely love the ambigrams, I have an earlier edition that has and Angels and Demons ambigram on the cover. The story leaves me cold but the artwork is just so beautiful.

... who seem to become overwhelmed with it. George R.R. Martin's series is also wonderful and very gripping. I read Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code Brown's books in particular are badly written and lacking in logic, and plausibility and written at about the 7th grade level. St ...

... well-plotted or written, but The Rule of Four was even worse. Totally agree with ExVivre (message 25) there. Read Angels and Demons instead.

I'll have to agree with The Da Vinci Code... bad all-around. I liked Angels and Demons to a point, bad prose, characters, and his so-called "research" aside. There was just something there that made it "okay," but after I read The Da Vinci Code, I was turned off to Dan Brown in general. You' ...
