Get ready, fans. Angels & Demons is opening in the movies this Friday. I decided that I was going to try and reread the book so I could keep track of all the plot and intrigue that will be ricocheting around the theater. I read Angels & Demons awhile back, and after The DaVinci Code. At the time I recall liking The DaVinci Code better, but I must say, as I allowed myself the luxury of a few hours of reading yesterday, that this really is engrossing. Sometimes a book IS better the second time around.
The ancient secret brotherhood of the Illuminati, the battle between science and religion for the meaning of God, the grandeur of Rome, a conclave of cardinals in the Vatican to elect a new Pope, and a device that could destroy them all – what’s not to like? Throw in a good dose of conspiracy theory, lots of action and intrigue – I’m ready!
All that’s left for me to figure out is can I carve enough time out of my schedule to finish the book … and still sleep.
My father used to say that reading a book again was like visiting an old friend. Are you going to see the movie?

Yes – a friend and I have plans to see it Saturday – that’s why I’m trying to finish the book by Friday night! Previews look pretty good!
