If you loved The Da Vinci Code, you must read Dan Brown’s earlier book, Angels & Demons, which features the first appearance of Harvard professor and Da Vinci Code hero, symbologist Robert Langdon
When a priest is found murdered, branded with a symbol reading “Illuminati,” Langdon is summoned to investigate. He discovers an ancient brotherhood has resurfaced to destroy the Catholic Church—and it plans to detonate a bomb in the Vatican within 24 hours.
Joining forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful scientist, Langdon embarks on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs and deserted cathedrals, following a 400-year-old trail toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair. They’re praying they’ll find it in time....

If you like a good mystery, you'll love this book! I thoroughly enjoyed this book for the mystery that it was. I stayed up two hours one night to find out who the killer was only to find out the next day that I hadn't read far enough.
Reviewer: Rebecca
It was a great book, with vivid descriptions. So much better than the movie...of course.
Reviewer: Heather
A great book from an enigmatic author

Didn't get to read this book until recently but "wow" it was worth it. I loved it. Dan Brown grabs you at the begtinning and doesn't let go until the end. His characters are well-developed and his plots are great. I recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery/thrillers.

This is Dan Brown's first book, and what a book! I have trouble getting started with many mystery novels because the character developement is draggingon. Once I started reading I could not put this book down. I have read all thwe other three boks by Dan Brown, each one having the same type of charcaters and a strong female role as well. "Digital Fortress" had a story line featuring cutting edge technology, and the same goes for "Deception Point". I am now readinghis fifth endeavor "Lost Symbol" enjoying it as well. He is a master of character developement.
