Ratings and reviews

Fast, informative and intriguing! A virtual tour through the Vatican city with an amazing and nail biting storyline. Not the best by Brown but definitely within the top 3. P.S. Readers of this book, please don't watch the movie!!

All I can say is I was expecting much thriller out of this. Yes,no doubt it was a fun read, capable of sticking you to the plot all day long.

Dan Brown has proved that he indeed is the best thriller writer on this planet. He is capable of presenting astounding physics in a simple and lucid way, but he is NOT a science writer. He also delves deep into secret societies like the Illuminati, and that's amazing! Suspense and utter surprise jumps at you off every page.
