yes, this book also begins with a murder. robert langdon’s first adventure was just as good as ‘the da vinci code’ which i loved. it’s hard to write about this book without getting too spoilery, but suffice to say that many of the twists and turns will catch you more than off guard, despite thinking you’ve spotted them from a mile away.

i came away with a couple of thoughts. first, i would very much like to get a look inside the vatican secret archives myself and second, the symbols were amazing. i very much look forward to what they do with this for the movie.
