All Time-Favorite Book (GT: October 28, 2010)

Can't say much of this well-read book by Dan Brown which also was made into a movie, nonetheless, the book is still better than the movie - Angels and Demons.

Angels and Demons talks about a centuries-old underground organization, the Illuminati that aims to destroy the Catholic Church through the fall of the Vatican City using the newly discovered power of the antimatter. The story takes the reader into an adventure that seems to be so real. The thrill and suspense lies on the plot of the story that takes place in great Vatican City, in which the hero and heroin must stop the destruction all in a days time.

One thing that interest me is the use of literary elements such as symbols and ambigrams throughout the story, bringing out the depth of the characters involved.

Reading the book also brings me across the famous religious seat of the Catholic faith. The vivid description of the architectural designs of not just the city but of the churches and structures as well, takes me in a tour to the Vatican - making me more interested of being able to visit the place one day.
