Angels and Demons: Dan Brown

I liked 80% of this book more than the Da Vinci Code. Brown paints the picture of some really very beautiful characters and you kind of get lulled into this false sense of security that actually he might be shaping up to be quite nice to the Catholic church. Then in the last 80 pages or so it once again becomes clear that someone at a catholic school use to beat him up on a regular basis!

I wish I had read this before Da Vinci… its outlandish but more fun in a weird kind of way. And yes, its compelling reading. I dredged through it in about a day and a half.. and that with seeing friends too.
