Combining the detective, thriller and conspiracy fiction genres, it is Brown’s second novel to include the character of Robert Langdon. The first was his novel Angels & Demons. This book offers one school of thought on this thought on this subject. The author shows the protagonist engaged in a searh of for proof that he was indeed a man like any other. The members of the Christian organisation Opus Dei have been depicted as the antagonist. However it should be clarified that the nature of events illustrated in the book are fictional in nature. Most church authorities have dismissed the depiction of the church in the book as an over use of artistic license. The book is written in the third person. The plot is fast paced without being too hurried and is well threaded throughout. The characters are reasonably well sketched and the author chooses not to reveal the identities of the main antagonist until the end. This is very effective in maintaining the aura of suspense and significantly contributes to gripping nature of the plot. The author has used simple contemporary English throughout and this fact alongside the gripping pace makes it a very entertaining read, especially for readers who are getting introduced to Brown’s work with this novel. This novel is extremely entertaining beside highly informative, this book is excellent for a bit of an escapist holiday. However readers who are similar with Brown’s typical plot and character construction, may find the repetition of the same lightlywearing. This is an extremely well written and researched thriller. Some complained that it was anti-catholic, but it is simply a work of fiction. You can’t believe everything in it. It is not a history textbook. That having been said this is an excellent book. Not quite as good as “Angel and Demons”, and not nearly as good as Dan Brown’s latest “The Lost Symbol”, but still a great read.
