Nanavati & Angles and Demons

This book has a long, shall I say unforgettable history with me and Sneha Nanavati. Its started in the beginning of 8^th grade. I had just read Twilight, unfortunately liked it and then claimed it was rubbish when I re-read it. (It is horribly rubbish no doubt about that.) I learnt not to trust  books that much and most importantly not to believe that every book I read is really good as I used to before. In a away of speaking I became critical to the books I read. I looked for there weakness and enjoyed debating about them. Then came Angles and Demons, not really came in, it was in my house for more then five years but I was finally allowed to read it. It was my first Adult thriller novel which I treasured while reading.

Angles and Demons:

"An ancient secret brotherhood. A devastating new weapon of destruction. An unthinkable target."

A scientist is found dead in CERN with a  symbol branded right through his chest. He is murdered for his discovery of Anti Matter which is stolen. The batteries of the container containing Anti Matter can last up to only 6 hours or the inevitable will happen. Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is invited to CERN where he is summoned to analyze this branded symbol. The trail leads form one thing to another and soon Langdon and the dead scientist daughter Vittoria Vetra travel all the way to Vatican City where the cardinals are preparing for the conclave to choose a new pope. Langdons discovery of the branded symbol leaves him mystified. The Illuminati. The Catholic Churches most hated enemy. Science and Religion are finally in phase of a war.

My Opinion:

I loved it when I read it for the first time. Somehow, it inspired me a lot. I hadn’t thought of the world in that angle I was usually so caught up with dragon, dwarves and faeries that I never did have time to see the world as it is, or as it is said in Angles and Demons. What I liked about the book was it was fact to fact true something really unusual for me at that time, it was a new piece of literature I hadn’t  bothered with. I liked it so much I talked a lot about it with Sneha Nanavati, she thought it was really fat when she first set her sight to it. But I inspired her with my one key word, ‘Science’. That was the magic word to make her read and there she was flipping from page to another reading it during class, free periods, lunch time at home and on the van.  She loved it, she hung on to every single fact and even researched about it. By the time she reached the end, she called her very first book her favorite book of all times!
