Dan Brown, as always, does a great job with this story. Brown introduces us to professor Robert Langdon, a professor who specializes in symbology. Langdon is contacted by the CEO of a company that takes pride in advancing technology, and is asked to render his expertise on thier behalf. Langdon is intrigued by the request, in particular by the reappearance of a symbol used anciently by the Illuminati, the ancient nemesis of the Catholic Church. Before long, Langdon is neck deep in a 24 hour thriller that parades him across the Vatican and Rome. For any who have read Dan Brown before, you will not be dissapointed as he shifts your suspicions from one character to another right to the very end. This book is not for those who have a problem with torture or murder. Take care as there is fairly graphic descriptions of both. This is the reason why I gave this book a lower grade. I believe that the grade of the book should not only rest with the story or quality of writing, but also rests with the answers of questions such as: 'is it a wholesome book?; 'how does it leave you feeling after having read it?'.
