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.
