                      An ancient secret brotherhood, a devasting new weapon, an unthinkable target – that’s what this heart racing thriller by Dan Brown is about.

Langdon not only has to save the Vatican and the Churches, but also the 4 kidnapped cardinals from the Illuminati, who were reborn after nearly 4 centuries, to destroy their most hated enemy – the Christian Church, with one last act of terror.

Written in a breathtaking manner, the sudden twists and turns in the story add to the element of surprise present in this book, which makes this an absolute page turner. For the first time in my life, a book – Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, gave me a feeling that the story would wait for no one if I kept the book down. Go for it, if you can stand a heart racing @ 100 kmph!!
