"Angels and Demons"

Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" was written in the 1990's. It
was the second book he wrote and the first one to feature the
character Robert Langdon.

The "Da Vinci Code" was his third book and the second to feature
Robert Langdon. Yet in the movie "Angels and Demons", there is
mentioned by a priest, Langdon's 'adventures in Paris, as being
anti Catholic Church'!!!

The first two Dan Brown books sold less than 10,000 copies! But
the "Da Vinci Code" really took off! After it's sucess naturally
a movie was made.

Obviously what happened then, was as the movie was also sucessful,
they (being the movie people), went back and took up "Angels and
Demons." (Remember it did not do that well as a book, till after
the "Da Vinci Code"!)

So to cover that fact, they have set it as being AFTER the "Da
Vinci Code"!

Other aspects of the novel they have changed are:-
1. The scientist who was killed was NOT a priest.
2. His body was branded with the Illuminati. It was not on a
piece of paper!
3. It is the scientist's daughter who helps solve the mystery!

In Sept, 2009, Dan Brown's third book in the series was released.
"The Lost Symbol," unlike the first two books, deals with the
symbols related to the Freemasons.

Once more a jolly good read. Even if some people slag off about
it not being 'good writing.'

Often good writing pays very little but a good on the edge of
your seat thriller will become a NUMBER ONE BEST SELLER!
