Angels and Demons, from Kevin Dominique's perspective..

The book Angels and Demons caught my eye at Changi Airport, Singapore.. I bought that book, author Dan Brown, at Times News Link store in Singapore and once I arrived at home, I started to read it. At first, it was nothing really, nothing special but time passed by and I suddenly realized that this is not an ordinary book. It can be said a mere ridicule to the Roman Catholic church since in that book, there were stories that I had never heard of about the Roman Catholic church and most of the stories were about the negative sides of the church. I tried not to believe those stories but I don't know how and why but I simply started to believe that some of the facts presented in the book were truth.
The book was incredibly great from start to finish. It provided tensity and great atmosphere that made me keep reading page after page of the book. The story was actually quite simple. A group called the Illuminati were trying to eradicate the Roman Catholic church from the face of the world by placing a bomb in the Vatican city, at the heart of the church itself, beneath the St. Peter Basilica, next to the tomb of St. Peter himself. In the story, Robert Langdon as the main protagonist tried to solve the mystery before the time ran out by tracing the traces of ancient Illuminati clues. It was a hard and tense journey but at the end, he with other members of the Vatican authorities managed to find the bomb and dispose it. It was a startling journey from start to finish, I can say. The story was full of revenge, anger and conspiracy but on the other hand, it was also about love and friendship. 
About the language used in the book, I could say that it was pretty interesting since it was not hard but also not easy. It was moderate and no extra efforts are needed to understand the  whole story of the book. All in all, it was a great book and surely a great entertainment for book readers out there. But, I have something to tell you that it is not a book suitable for those who are looking for easy entertainment. There are facts in this book and most of these facts are facts that can be said, are against the laws and accepted facts. Also, there are facts that are against the church so that you'd better have a deep understanding about the way the church of Christians work before you read this book because whether you realize it or not, it can somehow brain-wash you. But, apart from this phenomenon, this book is still full of suspense and a book worth reading..

See you! In my next book report! hee hee!!
