Angels and Demons- Middle Reading

This book is really good at the point that I am at. It is filled with multiple problems that keep the book moving along and making every single chapter very interesting. It follows the same plot as many mystery books in which the main character is faced with a problem that he is then forced to solve, while also having to confront a personal problem, in this the main character, Robert Langdon has to solve the mystery of the Illuminati while also being tested on a personal level because he had never faced these problems. One of the most interesting things in the book that I enjoyed was the science that is mentioned in it. SOMEWHAT OF A SPOILER SPOLIER SPOILER One of the characters that dies in the prologue, Leonardo Vetra (dies in prologue) is working on a top secret project. His daughter, Vittoria who is one of the main characters helped him on it. Mr. Vetra’s goal was to prove religion through science instead of having them against each other. As exclaimed by Maximillian Kohler, the head of the laboratory they worked in (CERN), “Vittoria you have me at a loss. It sounds like your telling me your father created…out of nothing?” (Brown 72). This shows what his goals were and also how the science in this book work. In the beginning of the book, the author, Dan Brown actually states that antimatter (what this is called) has actually been created. SPOILER ENDS There are many other scientific and historic facts in this book that make it even more interesting to read. I felt like although this book is an exciting mystery book, I am also learning a lot about Italian history and also science that I never would have never known. My prediction for this book is that it will end like a normal mystery novel ends, where the killer of Leonardo Vetra is caught and the SPOILER antimatter is destroyed. SPOILER.
