"A hundred thousand miracles are happening every day" (Flower Drum Song)
Robert Langdon a Harvard symbologist is woken in the middle of the night by a phone call that is going to change his life. This phone call may also change our lives.
Dan Brown weaves many story threads in to a tapestry of intrigue. The story takes place over a 24-hour period. A positive thing about this tale is that it is told in a linear fashion with very few flashbacks except when it is necessary for a back-story. In this story he treats Robert Langdon's character as if Langdon is not aware of many, well known technical items and theories; this may be true of Robert Langdon, but Dan Brown also irritatingly treats us as if we do not know these things!
On the surface, we are treated to a "who did it" and "will we get there in time" story. We must separate the goats from the sheep. However, we are also confronted with science versus religion. Is science and religion like oil and water or is science and religion just two of the facets of God?
The Da Vinci Code: A Novel by Dan Brown
An Excellent Read for all Time
Dan Brown is one of my favorite Writers and I have read almost all his books by now. This one - Angels and Demons was pending for long and I was thinking to read it as soon as I get time to grab and finish. That's done. I don't mind reading good books again and again. This one lies in that category.

More of the Same from the Author of The Da Vinci Code
Returning to the field of the intellectual action hero who travels the world with beautiful women solving esoteric crimes, Dan Brown makes this novel as interesting as "The DaVinci Code," but perhaps less controversial. If you loved the riddles, games and historical clues that must be solved through symbology, you should love this one about as much as you did the Da Vinci code.
