Hello all
well i just got through reading the latest Robert Langdon novel and lety me say it was a good book but it also has its probl;ems. First off lets get to what is good about the book.
1. Robert langdon is in uncharted territory. One of Robert Langdons greatest gifts is not just for symbolism but also his ability of haveing a photographic memory. In this book at the very begining it was taken away from him, this leaves him in very uncharted territory and Dan brown really breings this through
2. the action is good. Throughout the book the action is swift and the characters reaction to things is very real and you can feel the emotion of the moment come throough.
3. the characters are not cokkie cutter bad guys or good guys. This is one book were the landscape of who is bad and who is good is always changing from the first page you think you got things figured out but by the end only person you really have faith in as far as where he stands is Robert langdon and there were more than a few OMG moments where the tides sift and suddenly good is bad and bad is good.
However there is some bad things too
1. Book requires you to do some research. IF you have never been to venice or florence this book requires you to look up some stuff online to get what it looks like. Now while this aint necessary a bad thing if you are just looking for a good afternoon yarn or something for you to read during flights this may not be the book for you.
2.There are times when you get confused Throughout the book there was times were i got confused with much of the jargon and while this is eventually made up for later it did pull me out of what was going on a little.
Overall this is a good book for some late night reading but if you are looking for a time killer then you might want to go somewhere else, still though i cant wait for the next robert langdon book
8 out of ten stars
