Angels & Demons by Dan Brown

This book really took  some concentration.  It is very technical in some places because the main characters are scientific geniuses!

If you liked The Davinci Code you will probably enjoy this book.

Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor, gets a call inquiring into his knowledge of the Illuminati.  He hops on a plane and views a horrific crime.  This starts a chain of events that mentally challenges and physically exhausts Langdon.

Vitorria, a scientific genius, works alongside Langdon to catch a criminal before time runs out.  She made a scientific discovery that will have great implications for the Catholic Church.

This book contains amazing information and historical details.  The Catholic Church is used to create conspiracy and intrigue.  I was a little disappointed that the Catholic church played such a big role in the book, yet Brown wrote the story in such a way that there is a lack of spiritual insight and morality for the characters that matter.

Angels & Demons will leave you guessing and keep you hooked until the end.
