Title: better than The Da Vinci Code
Review: Being a Catholic, I enjoyed the Da Vinci Code very much (the Mary Magdalene theory is fascinating to me) and when I learned that Dan Brown had actually written an earlier book featuring his hero, art history professor Robert Langdon, I knew I had to track it down. Well, due to the popularity of The Da Vinci Code, it was not hard: I found a mountain of Brown's books at Price Club!Now that I've read both Langdon books I can declare that Angels and Demons is the better of the two! It's a richer story about a mad plot to destroy the Catholic Church by killing the Cardinals of Rome and annihilating Vatican City itself! Plus it's a better-written thriller which established a formula that was re-used in The Da Vinci Code.I could NOT put it down.
