Title: Read it for what it is, a page turning thriller with twists
Review: I tried to read The DaVinci Code several times and just couldn't get into the whole symbology thing. I decided to grab Dan Brown's first Langdon book from the library the other day, Angels and Demons. It does a nice job of setting up who Robert Langdon is and tells a great tale of his mad dash across Rome in an attempt to save the four preferiti and Vatican City. It is not a literary masterpiece, but it's a page turner, and that's what sells these days. There are certainly better written books in terms of prose and character development, but it's an enjoyable ride, knd of like that guilt you get when watching a torrid soap opera or 'professional' wrestling.
