Amazing book..

so I want to pick up Dan Brown's other book, what is it called?? I forgot..

edit: so its called angels and demon. Is it worth reading AFTER I read davinci's code?
 
He has four books currently

Digital Fortress
Deception Point
Da Vinci Code
Angels & Demons

I have read the first three - the last is reserved at the library; waiting for me to finish the Resurection (Steve Alten)
 
Angels & Demons I think. I'm just about to finish Prey by Crichton... not really as good as the beginning made it seem.
 
yes its angel and demons!! thanks folks..

so does this book has the same details like the davinci one??

is it worth reading AFTER you read davinci's code?
 
I heard it was good, but I have some ethical problems about patronizing a book that spouts BS about Jesus eloping to France.

It is a theory that is being proposed.

Some of the logic seems valid.

It depends on how strongly you wish to believe in what you have been spoon fed.

Remember, the Christian Church supported that the Earth was the center of the Univirse and was flat.

I also read them in that order. I actually found Angels and Demons a bit more bizzare, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

You may want to re-read a part of it that I think you missed. Mainly, the front cover. The book is called The Da Vinci Code, not Da Vinci's code.

exactly my question..

no, it does not need to be read in order.. totally different stories, and since you've already read davinci's code, you can't read them in order.. but the only cross over is just how he sometimes mentions things reminding him of last year and that sorta thing

also, i've read each of his books.. all worth reading in my opinion

That's true of ALL of Crichton's books. He writes truly brilliant stuff for the first 3/4's of every book and then wusses out on the ending. They're all so wishy-washy and non-commital.
 
I read Angels and Demons after The Da Vinci Code and liked Angels and Demons much more than The Da Vinci Code. Haven't read the other two, yet.

but .. but.. but The Great Train Robbery kicked ass.

I still need to read DaVinci, but having read Angels and Deception Point, it looks like brown is a one trick pony. Given a reader's massive suspension of disbelief and ability to ignore trite and repetitive character description, the books are pretty entertaining.

Kind of like The Hardy Boys for adults.

Edit: And lest you assume that is a total slam, I'll have you know I read all of the Hardy Boy books up til at least the #90's and a fair number of Nancy Drew and Tom Swift as well. Also, what was the one with Jupiter Jones and a junkyard fortress in it? Read a lot of crap in my youth. Not proud of it, but sometimes the mood just calls for a fast-paced suspenseful pile of dog doo.
 
pretty entertaining on both those books actually
my problem was that they were quite similar - i just found it too easy to put one into the other w/ slightly different circumstances
 
Angels & Demons uses the same protagonist, but otherwise, it's not some sort of necessary prequal. In fact, the plots are way too similar with Demons not being as good. All of Brown's books are good page-turners, but pretty much follow the exact same blueprint. Deception Point is okay, but Digital Fortress is better.
