From the #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Da Vinci Code" comes the explosive thriller that started it all.An ancient secret brotherhood. A devastating new weapon of destruction. An unthinkable target. When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to his first assignment to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol -- seared into the chest of a murdered physicist -- he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati...the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth. The Illuminati has now surfaced to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy -- the Catholic Church.Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival. Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair...a clandestine location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation. Critics have praised the exhilarating blend of relentless adventure, scholarly intrigue, and cutting wit found in Brown's remarkable thrillers featuring Robert Langdon. An explosive international suspense, "Angels and Demons" marks this hero's first adventure as it careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war.

评分 评分写书写到这个份上,我已经不知道该对作者如何评价了。也许只能说,作者实在是太善于把握一切畅销书的元素了,所以他的三本书无一例外都有着同样的东西——从结构到语言,从故事到人物。 对我来说,我很后悔浪费时间看这三本书。
评分24小时能发生多少事?觉得一眨眼就能过去,但读完丹布朗的这本《天使与魔鬼》,居然发现所有事情都在24小时之内发生,实在让人惊讶。 尽管由这本书改编的电影早在大三就看过,但如很多人所说,书的表现力是远远超过电影的,在书中我看到了很多电影中没有的描述,甚至电影把...
