It takes guts to write a novel that combines an ancient secret brotherhood, the Swiss Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, a papal conclave, mysterious ambigrams, a plot against the Vatican, a mad scientist in a wheelchair, particles of antimatter, jets that can travel 15,000 miles per hour, crafty assassins, a beautiful Italian physicist, and a Harvard professor of religious iconology. It takes talent to make that novel anything but ridiculous. Kudos to Dan Brown (Digital Fortress) for achieving the nearly impossible. Angels & Demons is a no-holds-barred, pull-out-all-the-stops, breathless tangle of a thriller--think Katherine Neville's The Eight (but cleverer) or Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum (but more accessible).

Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is shocked to find proof that the legendary secret society, the Illuminati--dedicated since the time of Galileo to promoting the interests of science and condemning the blind faith of Catholicism--is alive, well, and murderously active. Brilliant physicist Leonardo Vetra has been murdered, his eyes plucked out, and the society's ancient symbol branded upon his chest. His final discovery, antimatter, the most powerful and dangerous energy source known to man, has disappeared--only to be hidden somewhere beneath Vatican City on the eve of the election of a new pope. Langdon and Vittoria, Vetra's daughter and colleague, embark on a frantic hunt through the streets, churches, and catacombs of Rome, following a 400-year-old trail to the lair of the Illuminati, to prevent the incineration of civilization.

Brown seems as much juggler as author--there are lots and lots of balls in the air in this novel, yet Brown manages to hurl the reader headlong into an almost surreal suspension of disbelief. While the reader might wish for a little more sardonic humor from Langdon, and a little less bombastic philosophizing on the eternal conflict between religion and science, these are less fatal flaws than niggling annoyances--readers should have no trouble skimming past them and immersing themselves in a heck of a good read. "Brain candy" it may be, but my! It's tasty.

From Publishers Weekly

Pitting scientific terrorists against the cardinals of Vatican City, this well-plotted if over-the-top thriller is crammed with Vatican intrigue and high-tech drama. Robert Langdon, a Harvard specialist on religious symbolism, is called in by a Swiss research lab when Dr. Vetra, the scientist who discovered antimatter, is found murdered with the cryptic word "Illuminati" branded on his chest. These Iluminati were a group of Renaissance scientists, including Galileo, who met secretly in Rome to discuss new ideas in safety from papal threat; what the long-defunct association has to do with Dr. Vetra's death is far from clear. Vetra's daughter, Vittoria, makes a frightening discovery: a lethal amount of antimatter, sealed in a vacuum flask that will explode in six hours unless its batteries are recharged, is missing. Almost immediately, the Swiss Guard discover that the flask is hidden beneath Vatican City, where the conclave to elect a new pope has just begun. Vittoria and Langdon rush to recover the canister, but they aren't allowed into the Vatican until it is discovered that the four principal papal candidates are missing. The terrorists who are holding the cardinals call in regarding their pending murders, offering clues tied to ancient Illuminati meeting sites and runes. Meanwhile, it becomes clear that a sinister Vatican entity with messianic delusions is in league with the terrorists. Packing the novel with sinister figures worthy of a Medici, Brown (Digital Fortress) sets an explosive pace as Langdon and Vittoria race through a Michelin-perfect Rome to try to save the cardinals and find the antimatter before it explodes. Though its premises strain credulity, Brown's tale is laced with twists and shocks that keep the reader wired right up to the last revelation. (May)

读后感

早些时候看了丹·布朗的《达·芬奇密码》，甚好。于深厚的宗教文化背景当中展开扣人心弦的悬疑故事，无论是故事还是文化，都让人无法释卷。于是想看看他写的其它的书，但这本书让人失望，故事节奏缓慢，而文化只是介绍了罗马有些什么古建筑，唯一的亮色则是教皇内侍对宗教与科...  

24小时能发生多少事？觉得一眨眼就能过去，但读完丹布朗的这本《天使与魔鬼》，居然发现所有事情都在24小时之内发生，实在让人惊讶。 尽管由这本书改编的电影早在大三就看过，但如很多人所说，书的表现力是远远超过电影的，在书中我看到了很多电影中没有的描述，甚至电影把...  

天使与魔鬼是一奶同胞？有时善恶只在一线之间。 而科学和宗教的关系更加微妙，一直以来自己就是个唯心主义者，坚定地认为科学和宗教本来就不是对立的，在科学进步到一定程度时，一定会发现一线之隔就是宗教。世界上有太多人类解释不了的东西，而人类又总是自作聪明地试图用自己...  

看完了《达·芬奇密码》才知道《天使与魔鬼》以及其他几本丹·布朗的小说，这大概是中国读者认识丹·布朗的一般程序。虽然《达·芬奇密码》名头最响，我却觉得《天使与魔鬼》更好一些，它的主题明确，思路也很清晰，对欧洲宗教史没什么认识的人能比较容易理解。看惊悚悬疑小说...  

前年我因为机缘凑巧，读到《达·芬奇密码》，随后我把丹·布朗的其他三部作品搜刮了来，一个星期内挑灯夜战，全部读完。到了今天，丹·布朗不要说在国外，在中国也已是红透半边天了。最近有一本新翻译出版的《天使与魔鬼》(人民文学出版社2005年2月版)，书刚一拿到，太太就抢了...  

用户评价

个人认为这是丹布朗最好的一部小说，比达芬奇密码还好。教皇内侍发表的那一长篇讲话，我这个无神论者看了都有些动摇，觉得他说得还是挺有道理的。不过前半段的谋杀案实在是太惊悚了。丹布朗的小说我看过四部，给我留下最深印象的就是这本书里的谋杀案……加剧了我对宗教的恐惧。
