When it comes to unique thrillers, Dan Brown is in a class of his own. I'm constantly amazed by how vivid his stories are. I often say that Dan Brown books are movies for the mind. The DaVinci Code is, without a doubt, Dan Brown's finest work to date.

The DaVinci Code stars my favorite character, Robert Langdon, a Symbologist and Harvard professor. Langdon is world famous for his knowledge of ancient symbols in art and culture...and that little thing that happened last year*. Langdon's lecture in Paris suddenly turns sour when a collegue is murdered. Because of the murder's bizarre nature, Langdon is brought in. Not as a specialist, but as the suspect. The mysterious death is linked to the acquisition of a great secret that dates back to Leonardo DaVinci himself! Langdon, along with Paris' finest cryptographer Sophie Neveu, rush to clear his name as well as break the mystery of the Davinci Code.

I highly recommend reading this book. A Dan Brown book is one that needs to be experienced!

Book Review Angels and Demons *

Angels and Demons is one suspense-packed thriller that you just can't put down! Dan Brown has managed to combine The Vatican, the secret brotherhood of the Illuminati, murder, assassins, the Swiss research facility - CERN, a Harvard symbologist, stolen antimatter, a dead priest / physicist's daughter who helped develop the antimatter, the Swiss Guard, and super high speed aircraft, (from Boston to Switzerland in 1 hour! ) all in a race against time. This book is riveting, as the plot thickens and intensifies and I found myself "peeking" into the next chapter - something I NEVER do! The suspense was too much - but excellent! I just could not put this book down and had to let everything fall around me as I raced to finish all 430 pages! The ending will blow you totally away - and just when you think you had it all figured out - It will stun you! I found the history of the Vatican, the information on the conclave in electing a pope, as well as all of the history, combined with the history of the Illuminati totally fascinating. My interest never waned throughout this fast-paced, compelling story. I really don't want to retell the story, as you can read it in the above editorial review. Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor of religious iconology and Vittoria Vetra, a physicist are in a race against time to save Vatican City from a diabolical plot - revenge and hatred from the ancient brotherhood of the Illuminati against the Catholic Church. With the Pope murdered, the four favored bishops are found missing from the conclave. At precise intervals, the Illuminati inform the Vatican that the bishops will be murdered. It is up to Langdon and Vittoria to try and figure out the "clues" from the Illuminati and save the bishops. But not only are they trying to save the bishops, they are also trying to save the entire Vatican, as stolen antimatter is hidden somewhere inside the Vatican. Time is also running out as the antimatter has the capacity to level the entire city. Antimatter "is the most powerful energy source known to man. A single gram of antimatter contains the energy of a 20-kilotin nuclear bomb - the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima."
