And some of these things are not so nice. But this is a novel, not a faith deciding book. If you don’t agree with facts, go look it up yourself and find what you think is true! For everyone who loves cryptic puzzles and edge of the seat thriller, then you must pick this up! This is simply a brilliant book!

I would love to know more about who’s behind it but I can’t find any links to a bio on the site. One of their posts was about the curious popularity of The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. It lists some plausible reasons, e.g. “Readers feel smart because often they’re figuring out the clues before the book’s characters do.” [...] [...] Ijust came across WebWord, an interesting site with some parallel interests to mine.

At least from the perspective of the publishers who, after all, publish BOTH The Da Vinci Code AND Holy Blood, Holy Grail. In fact when I was in a bookshop at Heathrow last week, both books were prominently displayed side-by-side. I think the publicity from the plagiarism trial can’t hurt either.

In fact, that's how I got through Angels & Demons. Normally, I end reading on a chapter (it just feels more conclusive that way). I couldn't do that for A&D - I could only put down the book when I'd read the next page or two after a chapter ended; these were the least cliff-hanging sections of the book, allowing me to break away from the story and continue my day with relatively little stress involved in doing so.
