Angels and Demons

Angels & Demons is part techno thriller, part enigma and all action. Dan Brown dexterously combines a fast moving,fascinating and probably a well-researched plot that weaves together the secret nuclear research facilities of CERN and the ancient - modern secrets of the Vatican. Not only is this a highly entertaining and page turning thriller, it's also an insightful and perspicuous examination of the ever present dichotomy/duality of faith and science. Angels & Demons introduces the character of Robert Langdon, professor of religious iconology and art history at Harvard University. As the novel begins, he's awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call from the director of CERN,Geneva. One of their top physicists had been murdered, with his chest branded with the word "Illuminati."Langdon being an expert on the antediluvian secret society known as the Illuminati, he's asked to help solve the murder.

Then VJ asked me about my CAT percentile..I told him. Even he was disappointed wi
