I just today wrapped up my 2nd reading of Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. I absolutely love this book. If you plan on reading it to conduct your own research, like I did, there’s a couple things I suggest while reading Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.
- Use post-it notes throughout reading the books. Make references to names, dates, places, and other important references. There is a lot to wrap your head around, and it’s even more difficult to remember everything you read while conducting research.
- Reference important page numbers! This helped me out so much. If you don’t make note of the exact reference, just make note of the page number.
- Read Angels & Demons BEFORE The Da Vinci Code. While it may be tempting to just skip to the hyped Da Vinci Code, it’s important to read the 1st book; Angels & Demons, first. Not only is it just as good of a read as The Da Vinci Code, it’s basically the prologue for The Da Vinci Code. Lot’s of stuff you need to know if in Angels & Demons.
Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code are full of complex issues and topics. The Illuminati, The Knights Templar, Bernini and Galileo, some very controversial topics concerning Jesus, among the vast array of other topics. I don’t know if I would recommend these books to people who have absolutely no knowledge of those topics, because, with out at least some background history on the topics, your going to be lost. So, do your home work first!
