Maybe because I was so focused on the big plot points, the little details were slipping by. It's probably not my favorite book - too much sex and violence and not enough mystery for my taste - but I like the general style.An Almost Unschooling Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784076035361200243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-82219008043347766482015-02-05T09:12:37.553-08:002015-02-05T09:12:37.553-08:00I consider all Dan Brown books pure fiction design...I consider all Dan Brown books pure fiction designed to entertain, not to educate :) From that point of view, I liked Angels and Demons better than Da Vinci Code.Natalie PlanetSmartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531558038661679151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-53786223924590405822015-02-05T05:47:12.516-08:002015-02-05T05:47:12.516-08:00I enjoyed the book and his others, but didn't ...I enjoyed the book and his others, but didn't take it seriously since it is fiction.

I was able to predict what they were going to say in the first few chapters when they revealed her nickname was "Princess."<br /><br />But his lack of history drove me nuts. I'm sure it's the same for the National Treasure movie, but I wasn't picking those out just offhand, I'm apparently not as familiar with national history as I am ancient history.Ticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970101432834731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-80684772083879829452015-02-04T07:47:04.961-08:002015-02-04T07:47:04.961-08:00Very interesting read for sure, I read it as a for...Very interesting read for sure, I read it as a form of fiction just because of all the hoopla surrounding it. I borrowed it from the library so I didn't give him a dime of my money and am glad for that!OurWanderingAdventures https://www.blogger.com/profile/17751137528961959080noreply@blogger.com
