3.5 stars

ohhhhh i see, this is how all langdon books are. which is to say, mostly unbelievable, a gary stu main character, a traitor at the 70% mark, and exceptionally well researched. i did appreciate the deviation from the status quo with the ending though. but dan brown books are mainly for the cultural learning aspect and the conspiracy.
i think i'm going to read angels & demons and then i will be done.
