Langdon is in Paris this time and is called to look at another dead body, this time the curator of the Louvre. Cue Langdon and the victims granddaughter escaping and going on a quest to find the true Holy Grail.


I felt The Da Vinci Code was pretty much the same as Angels and Demons. In both novels Langdon is called upon in the middle of the night to investigate a dead body covered in mysterious symbols, gets himself into some kind of danger/almost dies, meets a young woman, but ultimately saves the day. And what happened to Vittoria from Angels and Demons? It's like Langdon has just completely forgotten about her.

I think if I hadn't read Angels and Demons first, I would have enjoyed this book more. I just felt like I was reading the same book again, but with a few details changed. As part of the series, I would rate this book 3 stars, but as a stand alone novel I think I would rate it 4 stars, so for this review I'm rating it 4 stars, trying to think of each book individually.
