Overall, it's highly recommended to anyone who loves a great thriller.

It is a description of one day in over 600 pages of gripping storyline where each chapter leaves you hanging by a thread and you just can't put this book down. The story is sometimes a bit loose and has too many details, problems take longer to solve as compared to Da Vinci Code. The antimatter bomb has a timer which would set off the bomb which gives additional suspense to the story. Robert and his companion go through the streets of Vatican and Rome to stop the killer from murdering the preffereti.

An antimatter bomb with the antimatter stolen from the lab of the physicist is found in Vatican building where the cardinals from all around the world are gathering for the papal elections in the enclave however the four proffered cardinals or the preffereti have been kidnapped. He is accompanied by the physicist's daughter with whom he eventually falls in love. Robert Langdon an iconology professor who is also well known for his studies on illuminati is called on a mission to find the murderer. Antimatter in real life is the most expensive substance and it costs 62.5 trillion dollars to make one gram of it and it must be preserved in cases where it cannot touch any matter or the process of annihilation would create an explosion higher in strength than any atomic bomb. The story is set in CERN (One of the biggest physics centers of the world) in Geneva, Switzerland where a physicist working on antimatter is killed with the words Illuminati branded on his chest.

Having read both the books and several others by Dan Brown, I can say that the story grips the attention of the reader very quickly, however since both of the books have similar characters and settings, it can be confusing to differentiate between the storylines after some time. The book has the same protagonist, Robert Langdon who is an iconology professor and is set in in the cobbled street of Europe and the Vatican City. Angels and Demons is an amazing thriller by Dan Brown, the same writer who wrote Da Vinci Code. A brilliant page turner for readers who love fast paced storyline and drama.
