angels & demon

Are you asking about The DaVinci Code?

Prolly not.

Brown wrote a book called Angels and Demons, with similar conspiracy stuff.

I haven't read either, though, and you may have read both, in which case you may be right.

Here's Amazon on Angels and Demons:

I don't know how useful those sites are, but they'll be more useful than I am.

Angels and Demons, while as terrible a book as are all of Dan Brown's books, is much better than The DaVinci Code. It introduces the main character of DaVinci, the symbology professor (I can't even think of his name now) during a Papal election at the Vatican. Over the top but less grotesque (until the climactic ending, that is) than the other one. Neither one of these is quite as bad as Digital Fortress, however, a book I urge you earnestly to avoid. You don't need to read it. I did it for you, to my sorrow. No, don't thank me. It's the least I could do to maintain my standing as Top Nerd of A2k. Dlowan has answered the poster's question with her links.

Good luck in your search for enlightenment, nate2nice, and I hope you get a good grade.

You mean they teach that in school? (wretched writing, in my opinion, at least in the one book of his that I read)

Scary, huh?


Unless they use it to debunk conspiracy theories?

I'm guessing it's more a way to engage students with some popular fiction. Oy vey.

I'm just assuming. From the way his/her question is worded, it sounds like an assignment. Maybe a book club, not a school course.

Ah, er, thanks. I think.

Sad if that claptrap is used to engage students (perhaps the district got the books for cheap) -- it isn't even popular any more.
