رواية جميلة، زاخرة بالألغاز والأحداث المشوقة وبالمعلومات الدينية والعلمية.
الصراع القائم بين الكنيسة الكاثوليكية والعلم والعلماء والفلاسفة.
الآلة الإعلامية وقوتها في نشر الفوضى، وتدليس الأمور بطريقة بارعة بحيث يستطيع شخص أو عدة أشخاص توجيه الرأي العام نحو الفوضى والتضليل، وإيهام المشاهدين أنهم يرون الحقيقة مباشرةً على الهواء.

“إن العلم والدين ليسا في نزاعٍ أو خصام مع بعضهما البعض، ولكن كلّ ما في الأمر هو أنّ العلم لا يزال حديثًا جدًا لكي يفهم."

“ما الضرورة إلى تغيير العالم، إن لم يكن العالم بأسره شاهدًا على ذلك؟”.

“ربّي، امنحني القوّة لأقبل تلك الأمور التي لا يمكنني تغيرها”. ـ القديس فرنسيس.

“الإرهاب لديه هدف فريد من نوعه. أتعلمون ما هو؟”.

“الهدف من الإرهاب هو إيقاع الرعب والهول في النفوس. ليس الإرهاب تعبيرًا عن الغضب، إنما هو كناية عن سلاح سياسي. ازيحوا الستار عن الواجهة الكاذبة والزائفة التي تختبئ وراءها الحكومات زاعمة أنها معصومة عن الخطأ، وأن نجاحها مؤكد وسوف ترون كيف أنكم سوف تزعزعون بالتالي إيمان شعوبها بها“.

“وسائل الإعلام هي اليد اليمنى للفوضى”.

“عندما يكون الشخص معروفًا باسمه الأول فقط، يكون ذلك بمثابة رمزً لوضع الشخص الشرعي ومنزلته الرفيعة في المجتمع”.

“جميعنا يستفيد من حسّ الاتصال بالألوهية... حتى ولو كان ذلك مجرّد وهمٍ أو خيال”.

“يمكن للعلم أن يشفي، كما ويمكنه أيضًا أن يقتل. هذا كله وقف على روح الشخص الذي يستخدم العلم. فالروح هي التي تهمنّي”.

“من شأن الأوضاع الحرجة والصعبة أن توحّد ما بين شخصين أو شعبين لم تتمكن قطّ العقود من الجمع في ما بينهما”.

“العدو المحرَج والمحشور في الزاوية هو في الواقع من ألدّ الأعداء وأخطرهم”.

“هناك في الواقع خيوط خفية من التواصل، ولكن هل هذه الخيوط موجودة بين الله والإنسان أيضًا؟”.

“الإنسان لا يستخدم إجمالًا سوى نسبة مئوية ضئيلة جدًا من قدراته الذهنية. ولكنك إن وضعته في حالات مشحونة بالعواطف الزاخرة والجيّاشة ـ كصدمة جسدية ما، أو حالة من الفرح، أو الخوف المفرط، أو أيضًا حالة من التعمق العميق - فقد تستفحل فجأةً نيوتروناته وتصبح شديدة الاتّقاد، وقد ينشأ بالتالي عن ذلك صفاء ذهني كبير”.

“إن الوحي الإلهي يعني أحيانًا وبكل بساطة أن نضبط أذهاننا على نحوٍ يخوّلنا سماع ما تعرفه قلوبنا”.

“كان بوذا قد قال ذات مرّة: إن كلاً منّا إله، وكلاً منا يعرف كل شيء، ولكننا بحاجة فقط إلى أن نفتّح أذهاننا لكي نتمكن بالتالي من الاستماع إلى حِكمنا الخاصة”.

“أنا لا أشكّك بقوّة الله! لكن الله هو من مدّنا بالعقل والمنطق!”.

“ما هي الخطيئة العظمى؟ أن نقتل عدوّنا؟ أو أن نظلّ وبكل بساطة واقفين نتفرّج على حبّنا الحقيقي وهو يختنق؟”.

The book that introduced the world to Robert Langdon, although he didn't really become a global bestseller until The Da Vinci Code exploded on the best seller lists. Yes full of inaccuracies, faux Italian and faux science... but hey.. it's F I C T I O N!

My fave Dan Brown book, this is a compelling and mindbogglingly believable mystery thriller that gets at the heart of the Vatican, its history, the Illuminati, classic art and modern science! If you read one Dan Brown this is the one! A Four Star 8 out of 12... for a rip roaring mystery thriller adventure!

2022 read; 2005 read; 2004 read

I can't put it down and read it in one day. I remember my mom was mad at me because I'm like, "I don't want to eat yet, I'm reading a book!" After that I ate lunch, at our table while still reading and I'm holding the book in my other hand and holding the spoon in my other hand. That's how good this book is.

That was one of the best novels I`ve ever read
Here is one of the most few fact I believe in...
There`s a very tiny thin hair between every thing and it`s opposite...good & evil...dark & light...matter & antimatter..
Now...dose the scinetist have the right to creat whatever the hell he wanna creat just because he found out that he really CAN creat it?...YES...but how many leiutis that have been created along the way since the very beginning of the human history and was used the our own destruction?...
Another fact we need to face...This is a cruel world we live in...And the human is a bloody cruel creature...
The truth is...We need religion...Some control...Something to make us stop and think for a moment...To ask ourselves...Am I doing the right thing?...What I`m about to creat...Is it really gonna help the people?...Or it`s simply gonna make life a litte more harder?...As if it wasn`t hard enough already :)

I read The Da Vinci Code and then Angels and Demons one after the other or was it the same one twice. Hmmm not sure!

The Da Vinci Code was a fast-paced thriller that was a rollicking good read and became a huge success and a movie. Angels and Demons was a fast-paced thriller that was a rollicking good read and became a huge success and a movie. Well, one had Robert Langdon and an attractive female collaborator whose father was just murdered with something branded on his chest and the other had Robert Langdon and an attractive female collaborator whose grandfather was just murdered with something drawn on his chest. Hi, I just spotted the differences. The similarities continue with the style, pace, atmosphere, symbolism, Catholic Church, clues to solve puzzles, and a race against time. I would advise leaving a bit of time between reading the 2 books.

The book is an easy read thriller, written as if for a young adult audience. The stories make good films because the plots and storylines are captivating and feed our appetite for conspiracy theories and age-old vendettas stretching back over millennia. I can understand how some people love it and some hate it. For once I much prefer the films!

I read this after the drivel that is called "Da Vinci Code." I decided to give the author another chance, and take on something that maybe wasn't so formulaic.

No dice. I am convinced that Dan Brown does absolutely no research into the subjects he writes about. Or if he does, he decides it is not "titilating enough for him" so he makes it up. I mean why even include actual real things in his books if he chooses to ignore any facts about them. Opus Dei? I doubt he could spell it. Catholic Church? Has he even read any history about the Catholic Church at all? His descriptions of the Church seem to be based on whatever anti-Catholic propoganda he could find, Chick Tracts, and superstition.

So it comes to no surprise that he has 2 massive bestsellers that are more or less, anti-Catholic. Cuz you know, Catholic baiting and prejudice to the Catholic Church is the only real acceptable prejudice left. The underlying superstition and hostility towards Catholicism, priests, the Pope, Vatican, etc is very close to the same sentiments that lingered in the decades and centuries before WWII in Europe.

Think I am overreacting? If someone wrote these books but instead baited the Jews or Muslims there would be a huge outcry. Bashing Catholics and depicting them and their history in the way Dan Brown does in these books is outrageous and should be criticized and shunned.

And I didn't even delve into how awful of a writer he is, did I? The only thing more embarassing than his writing that will never be remembered 20 years from now, is the fact that so many people bought into his piece of shit and wasted their time with it. Including respectable people like Tom Hanks and Ron Howard. There's time you will never get back again. Congrats!

Angels and Demons is the first in Dan Brown’s series of books featuring the character Robert Langdon.

This book contains some great lines, perhaps none more fitting for the modern world than, ‘Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, and yet we feel utterly alone.’

As with The Da Vinci Code, no one is going to read Drug Gang and think about similarities to Angels and Demons. Dan Brown has influenced me however. What Dan Brown’s writing really brought home to me as an author, is the importance of making your story compelling. Dan Brown grabs his readers from the start and never lets them go, which is something I believe all authors should try to do.

The Da Vinci Code brought me to the work of Dan Brown, but for me Angels and Demons is the superior book. Having said that, both books are very enjoyable and extremely compelling.

dan brown supo captar...
joda nunca hago esas reviews. ¿Qué que me pareció el libro? es magnifico, Dan Brown te explica cosas como los illuminatis y la religión de una manera que no importa quien seas, lo vas a entender, lo deja claro y la acción de este libro es increíble, cada escena, cada momento y cada "OH POR DIOS" que tiene, literalmente estaba como "LANGDON CUCHAME NO SEAS BOLUDO TE VAN A MATAR" claro que no iban a matarlo si tiene como cinco libros mas, pero las escenas de acción ME DAN VIDA, DIOS QUE PERSONAS TAN INTELIGENTES SON ESTOS PERSONAJES, QUE BRONCA y una acá. En fin stan Dan Brown

Angels and Demons is a definitive page-turner. It's over 600 pages and you could barely tell. I finally get why Dan Brown is amongst all-time best selling authors. The story takes place over a 24-hour period which helps intensify urgency.

However good it is, it feels does formulaic and mostly predictable except for about the last 100 pages or so which is bonkers. There is also another nitpick, I don't know if anyone else felt it too and it's about how time was used throughout the novel. There are scenes you can pick apart that play out like a 20 minute scene but then you realize it's barely been 5 minutes in book.

So before Dan Brown wrote he was a pop singer/songwriter and Angels and Demons was a name of the album’s name before Divine Intervention!!! Holy Shih-Tzu!!!ROFL

Being a fan of classic rock and metal to name your pop album Angels and Demons would be crazy. Thank God he quit and I am sure the Church would have prayed he stayed!!!

But what if.....

He wanted to send a demo to the producers :

Pop album tracks-
a) Oops dropped another book title again-Da Vinci Code(Brittany Spears)
b) It’s a Dan Brown Thriller(Dan doing the Michael Jackson Thriller song moves)
c) Rolling in the Deep (Mysteries of Christianity)-Adele

Rock Album tracks-
a) Rocked the Church like a Hurricane- Scorpions
b)Sweet Child(Angels and Demons) of Mine-Guns and Roses
c) Dude Looks Like a Lady (Last Supper Painting)-Aerosmith
d)Highway to Hell(ACDC)
e) The church literally Living on a Prayer-Bon Jovi
Metal Album tracks-
a)Symphony of Destruction-Megadeth
b) Hallowed Be Thy Book (Iron maiden)
c) Master of Puppets (Metallica)

EDM track:
a) Priory of Zion wave (Some good funky beats)

K -Pop track:
a) Illuminati Gangnam Style (A couple of Serious guys in robes breakout into Gangnam style dance).

Okay, guys time to get serious about this very serious book......Illuminati Gangnam Style...ROFL!!!!!
