Book Recomendation! (Angels and Demons)

     The prerequisite to The Da Vinci Code and The Lost Symbol (the book that I am currently reading), Dan Brown's Angels and Demons is in my opinion one of his finest works. It takes place in the modern day Vatican City, where Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is swept up in a whirlwind experience that involves the examination of a murdered physicist, a mysterious Vatican spy known as Janus, and an ancient brotherhood known as the Illuminati that appears to remain active to this day. The Professor is in a race against time to discover the whereabouts of a time bomb planted inside the Vatican. He, along with Italian scientist Vittoria Vetra embark on a chaotic journey that takes them all across Rome and through its many historical monuments and buildings (both those that are world renowned and famously known, to those that have been long forgotten by most).
     In my opinion, the book is a great read for nearly everyone. It has so many elements of so many different genres that I feel it is bound to mix well with practically any reader's taste. There is action that has to do with the conspiracy element, along with undertones of science fiction, countless historical references, and even a hint of romance. I highly recommend the book Angels and Demons to all who feel like their taste in books falls into any or all of these categories; and I especially recommend and challenge those who don't think so, to give the book a try. After all,  you will never know what you have been missing until you give a try. Maybe you will even have to continue on and read more of Dan Brown's works.
