22. Angels & Demons by Dan Brown.

Okay, so I've read this book 958329583295 times. I re-read it because the movie recently came out and I always like to freshen my memory up to prepare myself for the movie. I figured the movie was going to be terrible. And it was. Terrible isn't even bad enough to describe the movie. It was that bad. The Da Vinci Code movie was terrible too. It's just so unfortunate because the books are SO damn good. I think I like Angels & Demons more..but I don't know. They're kinda equal. Anyways, back to A&D.

It's just so fucking good.

Really.

I LOVE Robert Langdon. He's Mr. History-know-it-all, smart-ass, funny, charming, apparently handsome. Tom Hanks is NOT who I would have chosen to play his part, but whatever. And I like Vittoria WAY better than Sophie from TDVC. She's hot like a tamale, all feisty and shit.

//spoiler alert//

And the book is just amazing because it really does all come together. How he came up with the idea for this book is beyond me because all of the pieces of art exist and point in the right directions and it's just AWESOME. Seriously. If I ever go to Italy, I'm fucking going on the Path of Illumination and visiting all of those places..if possible. I just love history and thrillers and symbology and blah blah blah. Plus it's all science vs religion and I HATE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE THAT GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW THESE BOOKS ARE THE FUCKING DEVIL. Have you READ it? I'm not religious and even I am moved by Carlo Ventresca's words about the church and his faith. It almost made me want to believe. Well, sorta, lmao. I know he ends up being, well, crazy, but still, the words Dan Brown created for him are just beautiful.

Sure, I think Dan Brown's writing is cheesy sometimes, but it goes well with the book. And I like how fast paced it is. It's like WAM BAM CHICKY CHAWWW. Exactly like that. Snap finger OH SHIT snap finger OMFG snap finger DID THAT REALLY JUST HAPPEN?

I don't see how people can dislike this book, seriously :(

I know I will read it 500620682 more times. It never gets old. NEVER. And I still laugh at the good parts and I still gasp at the surprising parts. I don't know why, it's just so good. So good.

Read it. Fuck you if you haven't. Okay, not really, but yeah. READ IT.

ONLY ONE QUOTE because it's my favourite teehee.

"As he flushed, an unexpected realization hit him. This is the Pope's toilet, he thought. I just took a leak in the Pope's toilet. He had to chuckle. The Holy Throne."

I WILL UPDATE AGAIN IN LIKE 2.3 SECONDS.
