I thought this was a very well written book and I really did enjoy it. It was a real page turner for me, I couldn't put it down. You can tell Mr. Brown worked hard with all the research and whatnot he put into it to make his story seem more real. I will soon be started 'Angels and Demons' when I get the chance.

A movie, yes, I've heard they're making one. I do agree, I think they could have found someone more...Robert like...for the main role.

I managed to get the book at my school library two days ago... And I'm the first one to take it out :D Brand new! I was actually shocked to see it there since our english section isn't all that big, and getting these best-seller books arn't cheap.... I recall seeing the book at a store for about $20...

Anyhow, I'v only read 4 chapters so far an i'm addicted :P

i thought it was a good book, the content was well researched, but personally, the story was only so so for me.. but its the first book i've read that my mum actually managed to read, appart from lotrs and harry potter.. and she finished it in 1 month only! :P lotrs.. lets say it took about 3 years.. *sigh*

with angels and demons, i can't figure out if it comes out before or after the da vinci code. and he's got another ones out as well, digital fortress, but the characters are different.

but i liked it. my school is catholic though, but really, they kicked up a bigger fuss about the book than it really is, its fiction anyway. *rolleyes* oh well, you can sorta see where they come from though..

as for the ending of the book, i thought it was okay, met worse endings before :P some bits were rather neat how it all fell into place. :)
