  Thoughts on Angels and Demons? A tight, gripping plot. Average-to-mediocre prose. Low information density, considering it's a historical/tech-spec novel. And I feel he lays on the twists a bit too thick - by the time the final twist happened, I just couldn't care a damn anymore. Oh and check this out, this is the ridiculous review of The Davinci Code I'd mentioned earlier: WOW... Blockbuster perfection. An exhilaratingly brainy thriller. Not since the advent of Harry Potter has an author so flagrantly delighted in leading readers on a breathless chase and coaxing them through hoops. --Janet Maslin THE NEW YORK TIMES
