I'll be the first to admit that this book doesn't live up to the hype, but to be fair, the hype was huge. This isn't anything that sensational, but it's still a good read. Just like with Angels and Demons, it's a fast-paced, suspenseful thriller (though not quite as tight as Angels and Demons) with some thought-provoking issues (though not as well-balanced, and considerably more pretentious and preachy than Angels and Demons.) There's really no reason for anyone to be offended by this book, and I don't personally find any of the ideas all that sensational. If you want a Dan Brown thriller . . . I'd still recommend Angels and Demons. But this one's pretty good, too.
