World-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a cryptic symbol seared into the chest of a murdered physicist. What he discovers is unimaginable: a deadly vendetta against the Catholic Church by a centuries-old underground organization — the Illuminati. In a desperate race to save the Vatican from a powerful time bomb, Langdon joins forces in Rome with the beautiful and mysterious scientist Vittoria Vetra. Together they embark on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, and deserted cathedrals, and into the depths of the most secretive vault on earth…the long-forgotten Illuminati lair.

Frankly I don’t know why I read this book, since I didn’t have any interested in it other than wondering if the hype of it was really worth a try. And after reading it I can say that it isn’t worth it.

This book was more of a conspiracy theories talk rather than a mystery book. However as a fan of conspiracy theories myself, I need to say that I liked this aspect of this book.

However the beginning of this book was slow, and there was a point when I became very uninterested but I continued to read.

The characters in this book feels very annoying, if they were really human beings I would haver a really hard time getting along with them. The characters were entreating at times but overall they were more the pain in the ass rather than anything else.

The writing style were okay for the most part, however it was weak at times. And we were told more about the Illuminati and the Vatican and its church system it felt more like a boring religious lesson or a conspiracy theory lesson made by the crazy teacher from elementary school. 

The descriptions in this book were probably the best part about this book, because they really gave you a clear picture of the scenario and I came to enjoy it a lot. 

My main problems with this book, and why I came to like it so little is because this book is full with stereotypical characters and tedious and very dubious historical references. But also that the 600 pages of this book can be summarised in one sentence. Which is an absurd story which is carried out smoothly behind the scenes of the Vatican.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
