Angels And Demons

Angels and Demons is coming out. I haven’t read the book but some friends of mine told me that it is better than The DaVinci Code.  I got to see DaVinci Code in Florence Italy on the night it came out.  It was awesome.

I was intrigued by the trailer because it begins with the concept of the black smoke that rises from the Vatican when a Pope is elected.  It could be one of the most defining symbols in Western culture because in the Catholic world the Pope is the spokesperson for God himself.

And much like Tickle’s assertion in the The Great Emergence, we’re always intrigued by a great authority.  We’re looking for someone to validate how we think and approve of what we think.  And to lose that authority brings peril to many.

If you’ve read the book, what did you think about it.

    I enjoyed The DaVinci Code as a book. Having read it first, I didn't much care for the movie. I LOVE Tom Hanks, but he just wasn't right for the part.

    I enjoyed Angels & Demons too. I don't remember liking it more than The DaVinci Code, but it's been a while since I read it. I definitely recommend it as an exciting bit of fiction.
