Default Angels and Demons

(repost?) If you get a chance to read this novel by Dan Brown, I highly recommend it. I havent been much of a reader for the past 7 years but once I started this one, I honeslty couldnt put it down. Same with the Da Vinci Code. If you like to open yourself up to different points of views on the fine line between sciene and religion then this is a great semi-fiction book. For those who have read it know what Im talking about. Im personally a religious person and believe in God and this book very much intrigued me. Anyways, wanted opinions if you had any. Thanks.

Both of those are really good, although I'm not sure how much of it is true and how much it is not.

Yeah its about the Illuminati. The truths that lie behind it relate to The Vatican and CERN, both of which exist today. The story and characters are total fiction but the places they go and the way it is told just amaze me. I guess its because I didnt know too much about other religions, I.E. Catholosism but reading on it was defining. Sorry about the ranting.

dan brown is a shitty author. i read three of his books, and yeah i couldn't put them down, but he has the worst writing styles ever.

he uses the exact same type of characters too, that gets extremely annoying.
not to mention the sources he uses are extremely flimsy.

they did exist at one point, but they are defunct now. everyone makes such a huge deal about secret societies. they're just groups of people that are secretive.
