Title: Great ending
Review: Like most readers, I came to this after reading The DaVinci Code. The parallels with DaVinci Code are obvious: the two are cut from the same cloth. Coming to this earlier work later, however, it did seem to pale slightly by comparison: DaVinci Code has perhaps more purely intellectual nuggets, and is even more thought provoking. Though dealing with weighty thematic topics, it is none the less more of a straightforward action story: think Michael Chricton plotboiler, with familiar themes of technology run amok found in some of Chricton's work. The last 80 or so pages featured one plot twist after another. I will not spoil them for you by going on. But if you loved DaVinci you will also enjoy Angels & Demons; if you thought DaVinci was stilted & pretentious (as a handful of people with whom I have discussed it felt), you still might like this one.
