Angels and Demons

I've just spent the past week reading 'Angels and Demons' by Dan Brown, author of the Da Vinci Code. Although I've successfully resisted the Da Vinci Code (deliberately on my part, due to all the hype surrounding the book), I'm really glad I had this exciting thriller recommended to me. Fast-paced, it's real edge of the seat stuff, and very difficult to put down. Work of a secret brotherhood (the Illuminati) is revealed, and its bitter war against its sworn enemy - the Catholic Church - is played out over a day of mystery, intrigue, terror and murder in the Vatican City. All this is set against the college of cardinals assembling to elect a new Pope. Trying to decipher a long-forgotten trail to find the Illuminati lair is Harvard professor Robert Langdon, together with Vittoria Vetra, the daughter whose father's murder sets of the chain of events at the start of the book. There are plenty of twists and turns in the plot, making it an extremely enjoyable journey through each page. This is one book I highly recommend. A few brands make an appearance, but they're not the sort I would want to market! Read the book, and you'll understand what I mean. Enjoy.
