![]() ![]() ![]() He figures out that this is the work of the Illuminati, a secret group dating back to the Renaissance, who seek revenge for the Vatican wiping out many of them in the 16th century for their pro-science, anti-Catholic views. Despite reservations about Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks, hardly pro-Catholicism in Da Vinci) the Vatican consults him. In the run up to the Cardinals' voting in Conclave for a new Pope, four of them are kidnapped. So to Angels And Demons (where I haven't read the book). The movie adaptation was faithful, but lost the novel's immediacy: it still had broad appeal and did well at the box office, hence this sequel. While Da Vinci was hardly deathless prose, it told an interesting, unusual story at breakneck pace in an easy-to-follow manner. ![]() Angels And Demons,(the movie) is a vague sequel (albeit the book precedes the Da Vinci book). First I must comment on The Da Vinci Code phenomenon. I usually try not to spoiler: in this case I shall do so wholeheartedly. ![]()
