View Full Version : Angels and Daemons by Dan Brown
I am reading this book and tell you what, it is damn interesting and educative. For instance did you know that image of God in Christianity the old man with beard was borrowed from the Greeks to be precisely it is the copy of Zeus.
Did anyone read this book? How did you like it?
And yes one more thing that I found very interesting is that the theory of Big Bang was first proposed by the priest from Belgium and not by Hubble.
Already finished the Digital Fortress. Do you need a clue?

Yeah , that's really interesting, many things came from Egypt, from the sunworship beliefe. I just read this book. Interesting, but I can't say it is the best, well, there is too much information, and things just happen in a same routine. There is no really literatural empathy. Foreshadowing is so obvious, the hint which keeps your on it is the mistery, the things that you don't know. If you have read "Deception Point" by Dan Brown the structure of the books is same. And also I have my last Independent Reading presentation on this book. I actually chose it because of its background information.

I've read 4 books by Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Deception point and Digital Fortress), and I think Angels and Demons is the best of all four. Da Vinci Code is a close second. But don't waste your time with Digital Fortress and expecially Deception point.
Angels and Demons is greatly intriguing and I think the events described are actually believable. I read it in pretty much in one night (instead of doing real work, I might add) :) Angels and Demons wasn't as popular as the Da Vinci code, because the latter is more controversial. But I found reading the Angels more enjoyable. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

A also read his books and liked, but besides the intriguing history , good chain of events and of course very usefu,lhistorical knowledge, what intrigued once more is his final point of view: i mean almost in all his book he seems like ignoring, or coming up againist christianity; i don't know bot his religion, but just it is not a liitle coincidence, i suppose. but he is giving very good and acceptable arguments.
