I sort of expected it. Angles & Demons doesn't have much controversial stuffs.

People are catching on to Dan Brown's writing methods! :P (sorta)

And yeah, the title is awesome.

I only really want to see the movie for the purdy Vatican art.

What's going to be the next 2? College universities maybe? Oxford & Cambridge, watch out! You are going to discover a (hitherto unheard of) mad, menacing gang operating within your midst. Or your Heads may turn out to be Osama Bin Laden's close aides.

Dan Brown is very good at ending every chapter on a cliffhanger. This does not make him a good writer.

Which Head of college isn't? They are usually paranoid. And talking all the crap about how we ought to keep the college name flying high & maintain very good discipline, study very,very hard etc. I am sure they never did all that when they were in college.

I've only read DaVinci Code and A&D.
I don't particularly care to read them, his writing style is fairly good, IMO.
'course, I haven't read all of them yet.

Anyone a Tom Clancy fan here?

A&D & DaVinci Code are far better than the other 2. Deception Point was ok, but Digital Fortress was plain bad. I guessed the answer way before they did. And they are supposed to be experts.

I couldn't get past the first 75 pages of Digital Fortress, it was just so boring.
