Angels & Demons

Normally, I'm not a big reader of books. But when I found out that they made/are making a movie of the best seller The Da Vinci Code, I just had to read the book. When I had finished reading it, I just had a taste for more. So I searched on eBay for Het Bernini Mysterie, the Dutch version of Dan Brown's Angels & Demons. This book is less known than its successor The Da Vinci Code, but I liked it even more. Both books are written in the same style, they have the same main character Robert Langdon, and both stories are about the church. But I find Angels & Demons more exciting. It's not about the search for some object, it's about a time bomb, hidden somewhere in the Vatican, just when all the cardinals are brought together to choose a new pope. If you've enjoyed The Da Vinci Code, you'll surely enjoy its predecessor Angels & Demons.
