Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

In the book "Angels and Demons", the main character, Robert Langdon, is called by CERN, a leading developer of electronics, to help with a case of a dead person. The guy got killed because he was working on top secret technology called anti-matter. If it comes in contact with any element, it explodes. An anti-matter bomb was made and planted inside of Vatican City. The pope got killed by the camerlengo, the pope's son, and soon after he sent an assassin to kill four candidates for becoming pope. The first one gets killed by the assassin from getting shoved into the earth an suffocated from dirt getting shoved into his mouth, which is using earth. The second one gets killed by getting punctured in the lungs, which is getting killed by earth. The third one gets killed by the assassin hanging him by wires and burning him with a big fire. The fourth and final one gets killed by him drowning him in a water fountain. One thing the deaths all had in common was that they were all in front of churches. When Langdon gets back from tracking down all of the deaths, he and the camerlengo find the anti-matter bomb. Then they both go into a helicopter with the anti-matter and fly it up as high as it can go to let it explode. They both jump out of the helicopter, but the pope has a parachute where as Robert doesn't. He lands in water while the pope landed on top of a building. The camerlengo soon commits suicide and a new pope is elected. I think this book was very confusing because at first the camerlengo tries to destroy the city, but then he tries to save the city. The assassin is really crazy because he kills four potential popes for no reason. I really like this book because it is realistic fiction, which is one of my favorite genres. by, Timothy, 6th Grade Reader

  1. Wow! I didn't know you were reading such a violent book. Was the second pope candidate killed by wind? I agree that the beginning is kind of confusing. ---your mother
