Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

 

Angles and demons was my first book by the great American author Dan Brown. I quit enjoyed the story, Even though it's vocabulary was a little too sophisticated for my taste but still I got the story almost vividly. I loved the way it's been written, the twist was awesome. Right from the beginning I fell in love with the characters specially  Robert and vittoria. They were really good. I am not sure about accuracy given in this book but even reading about them were quit exhilarating.  The whole events take place from morning 5 AM up to tomorrow's morning. 

     I am truly amazed by the way these authors write stories. Every details given in a very interesting way. During the story you don't wanna leave the book even for a second. You just wanna keep reading one event after another till the last. However I think the ending could have been much better and honestly it really should have been. 

    I usually do not read long books. But this one was more than five hundred pages. Given how interesting it was and how much I enjoyed it, I should start reading these kind of long but interesting stories. This was just a start with Dan Brown. I have downloaded a couple of his other books which I will definitely read one by one in the near future. 

here are some beautiful lines from this one...

# "Science and religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand."

# "God answers all prayers, but sometimes his answer is no."

# "Whether or not you believe in God, you must believe this; when we as a species abandon our trust in a power greater than us, we abandon our sense of accountability. Faiths....all faiths.... are admonitions that there is something we cannot understand, something to which we are accountable. With faith we are accountable to each other, to ourselves and to a higher truth. Religion is flawed, but only because man is flawed. The church consists of a brotherhood of imperfect, simple souls wanting only to be a voice of compassion in a word spinning out of control."

# "Nothing captures human interest more than human tragedy."

# "Faith is universal. Our specific methods for understanding it are arbitrary. Some of us pray to Jesus, some of us go to Mecca, some of us study subatomic particles. In the end we are all just searching for truth, that which is greater than ourselves."

# "Science tells me God must exist. My mind tells me I will never understand God. And my heart tells me I am not meant to."

# "Religion is like language or dress. We gravitate toward the practice with which we are raised. In the end, though, we are all proclaiming the same thing. That life has meaning. That we are grateful for the power that created us."

# "Even the technology that promises to unites us, divides us. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, and yet we feel utterly alone."

# "No good deed goes unpunished."

# "Skepticism has become a virtue. Cynicism and demand for proof has become enlightened thought. Is it any wonder that human now feel more depressed and defeated than they have at any point in human history."

# "Buddha had said: 'Each of us is a God. Each of us knows all. We need only open our minds to hear our own wisdom." 

# " But who is more ignorant? The man who cannot define lightning, or the man who does not respect it's awesome power?

# "From Santi's earthly tomb with demon's hole,

    'Cross Rome the mystic elements unfold.

    The path of light is laid, the sacred test,

     Let angels guide you on your lofty quest."

 I am sure you won't be disappointed by this book.
