Has a dream - SOS call - a brutal murder - symbols around - dechiper. The plot is of Robert Langdon trying to stop the Illuminati, a legendary secret society, from destroying the Vatican City with the newly-discovered power of antimatter.
The pace is as racy as the TDVC, but I felt there was too much of description like the functioning of the vatican , the conclave history. And the clues are hidden in the sculptures..so no chance of u breaking your head to decipher the code as in TDVC.
Well, the ambigrams that form the crux of the story evolved beautifully.
The clues are hidden in the works of the famous Sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The sculptures were really breath-taking, when I saw them.
Habakkuk & the Angel (EARTH clue)
West Ponente (AIR clue)
St.Peter Basilica - Scene of action
The Ecstasy of St Theresa (FIRE clue)
Four River Fountain (WATER clue)

Ravi...na chaala santhoshangha unnannu (did I bludgeon it?)..And my spirits are real high when I see Gemini & Teja ;-). vadina gaaru Ella unnaru?..(stand up & clap now!)
And..back to the topic...Angels & Demons was very nice with the twists n turns that I didnt expect..But there were many parts which I couldnt comprehend...ur writing has to be very good if u r describing the happenings visually..I thought Dan could have done more when he describes the first encounter of Langdon with the Hassasin - the fall in the Fire-church..then the final jump from the helicopter..Man,,he really went overboard.
I actually felt cheated after reading Digital fortress. Dan is better off with symobls than computers.
I'm yet to read the others..good..u have read the others also.
BTW,,,ur nostalgia is not working
