Angels and Demons IV

Well, I have now finished Angels and Demons. First off, I was completely correct in my prediction about Robert Langdon and Vittoria Vetra falling in love. It was completely obvious throughout the whole book. Although these two characters were pretty thin, the rest of the characters were much harder to figure out. At the introduction of each new character, I was wondering if they were the traitor that I was so sure existed. I couldn’t figure out who the real traitors were until the story revealed them, and sometimes the book revealed traitors, only to later show later that the real bad guys had manipulated it to look that way. Like I said earlier, this book’s plot twists were enough to give me whiplash. In the last 50 pages, the drama is unstoppable, with ridiculous revelations about how a certain deceased pope was murdered by his own son, who didn’t know that he was his son. Yeah, I got some pretty bad whiplash. The one character that I was certain was good (besides our protagonists), turned out to be the evil mastermind behind everything. Thankfully, I finished the book before I was forced to stay up really late reading. The drama ends with the said mastermind igniting his oil covered body before all of Rome. After that, the book wraps itself up nicely, tying up loose ends and re-establishing equilibrium for the world in the story, allowing for life to return to normal after the book is over. Overall, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and I think I might watch the movie or read another one of brown’s books.
