Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor in symbolism, is called in by the Director of CERN, Maximillan Kohler to help find the killer of one of his top scientists; Leonardo Vetra who has been branded with strange symbols. Robert believes it to be the work of the Illuminati, an ancient brotherhood believed to be dead. Meanwhile in Vatican City, the Pope is dead, 4 Cardinals are missing and the antimatter has been stolen. Can Vittoria and Robert save Vatican City?


I've heard so many people ranting and raving about how amazing this book is, and I've got to say, I'm a little disappointed. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is about this book that has disappointed me though. The story is interesting and I thought the characters were believable. I guess there's just something missing, but again, not sure what. The writing is okay, though could be better. But what couldn't be better?

I've also heard people talking about how they preferred the Da Vinci Code, so we'll see if I like that one any better.
