From Amazon.com

It takes guts to write a novel that combines an ancient secret brotherhood, the Swiss Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, a papal conclave, mysterious ambigrams, a plot against the Vatican, a mad scientist in a wheelchair, particles of antimatter, jets that can travel 15,000 miles per hour, crafty assassins, a beautiful Italian physicist, and a Harvard professor of religious iconology. It takes talent to make that novel anything but ridiculous. Kudos to Dan Brown (Digital Fortress) for achieving the nearly impossible. Angels & Demons is a no-holds-barred, pull-out-all-the-stops, breathless tangle of a thriller--think Katherine Neville's The Eight (but cleverer) or Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum (but more accessible).

Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is shocked to find proof that the legendary secret society, the Illuminati--dedicated since the time of Galileo to promoting the interests of science and condemning the blind faith of Catholicism--is alive, well, and murderously active. Brilliant physicist Leonardo Vetra has been murdered, his eyes plucked out, and the society's ancient symbol branded upon his chest. His final discovery, antimatter, the most powerful and dangerous energy source known to man, has disappeared--only to be hidden somewhere beneath Vatican City on the eve of the election of a new pope. Langdon and Vittoria, Vetra's daughter and colleague, embark on a frantic hunt through the streets, churches, and catacombs of Rome, following a 400-year-old trail to the lair of the Illuminati, to prevent the incineration of civilization.

Brown seems as much juggler as author--there are lots and lots of balls in the air in this novel, yet Brown manages to hurl the reader headlong into an almost surreal suspension of disbelief. While the reader might wish for a little more sardonic humor from Langdon, and a little less bombastic philosophizing on the eternal conflict between religion and science, these are less fatal flaws than niggling annoyances--readers should have no trouble skimming past them and immersing themselves in a heck of a good read. "Brain candy" it may be, but my! It's tasty. --Kelly Flynn --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.



From Publishers Weekly

Pitting scientific terrorists against the cardinals of Vatican City, this well-plotted if over-the-top thriller is crammed with Vatican intrigue and high-tech drama. Robert Langdon, a Harvard specialist on religious symbolism, is called in by a Swiss research lab when Dr. Vetra, the scientist who discovered antimatter, is found murdered with the cryptic word "Illuminati" branded on his chest. These Iluminati were a group of Renaissance scientists, including Galileo, who met secretly in Rome to discuss new ideas in safety from papal threat; what the long-defunct association has to do with Dr. Vetra's death is far from clear. Vetra's daughter, Vittoria, makes a frightening discovery: a lethal amount of antimatter, sealed in a vacuum flask that will explode in six hours unless its batteries are recharged, is missing. Almost immediately, the Swiss Guard discover that the flask is hidden beneath Vatican City, where the conclave to elect a new pope has just begun. Vittoria and Langdon rush to recover the canister, but they aren't allowed into the Vatican until it is discovered that the four principal papal candidates are missing. The terrorists who are holding the cardinals call in regarding their pending murders, offering clues tied to ancient Illuminati meeting sites and runes. Meanwhile, it becomes clear that a sinister Vatican entity with messianic delusions is in league with the terrorists. Packing the novel with sinister figures worthy of a Medici, Brown (Digital Fortress) sets an explosive pace as Langdon and Vittoria race through a Michelin-perfect Rome to try to save the cardinals and find the antimatter before it explodes. Though its premises strain credulity, Brown's tale is laced with twists and shocks that keep the reader wired right up to the last revelation. (May)

Par Un client
After the hero jumps out of a helicopter at 15,000' using only a tarp as a parachute, surviving an anti-matter explosion on the way down, only to land safely in the river where coincidently a doctor sees him land and revives him. (His third or fourth time he has escaped death today). All the while, the "pope", who had a parachute, is pretending a miracle has happened as he has landed atop St. Peter's to the roar of the crowd. JEEEEEEZ Get me outa here!!! Even as a movie, this would get boos.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Dumb Dumb Dumb, Jui 3 2004
Par Un client
I originally bought "The DaVinci Code" Bool on CD for a long car trip and found it enjoyable, so I bought this one for the drive back. In the first 10 minutes I realized just how mediocre an author Dan Brown is. Both stories sound like they were written using the same outline. Maybe it was because I listened to it first, but "Code" came across as much more enjoyable, and without a lot of the hokey elements that plague "A&D". It's a shame too, because this story could have been really good with a little effort. Langdon could be an interesting character, but Brown doesn't develope him at all. He comes across like a one dimensional "Jack Ryan meets Indiana Jones". The end result is that this book is so bad, it not only ruins itself, but also ruins "The DaVinci Code" along with it. If you enjoyed "Code", do NOT buy this book.

2.0étoiles sur 5 You'd think I'd learn...., Juil 13 2004
Par Eric Koldinger (Portland, OR USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
A couple months back, I read The DaVinci Code, and mostly enjoyed it. It got a little slow at the end, but still, not bad. So I read Deception Point, and discovered that the two books were basically the same plot idea. There's a murder, conspiracy, controlled by some mystery person (and you're surprised when you figure out who this is), there's a couple trying to solve the mystery and save their own lives, falling in love as they work their way through the mystery, and a killer or killers chasing them at the direction of the mystery person.

I wasn't particularly surprised when I picked up this one in an airport (I needed something lightweight for an international flight), and lo, this is basically the same plot. Robert Langdon gets sucked into a mystery, this time at the Vatican (this actually takes place before The DaVinci Code), meets the beatiful daughter of a murder victim, and chases the Illumanti through Rome to solve a mystery, all the while falling for the daughter (who seems to have an incredibly short grieving period for someone who's dad was just murdered).

Dan Brown also loves coming up with new technologies, the "slush-hydrogen" rocket from Deception Point reappears here, but his love of technology and the invention of devices that are still "real soon now" is a bit distracting. He also seems to completely forget that passports are really useful things when trying to cross the borders of countries.

To his credit, Dan Brown does a great job of digging up interesting coincidences, or at least semi-conspricitoral links in the art world. I'm not sure where the stories behind Bernini's masterpieces in Rome come about, but it's very interesting. I just wish Dan Brown would come up with another framework on which to hang his mysteries.

All in all, I think I'm probably done with Dan Brown's work. I think I've read his story.
