I haven't seen the movie, and I don't plan too, but I thought the book was interesting enough. I agree A&D was better, and not just because those last lines did make the book, but in general because I though it was better planned out and executed. Da Vinci Code got all the hype because of it's controversial themes, though A&D wasn't all that light of religion bashing itself. I certainly liked both well enough though.

 

Most of Dan Brown's books, while causing controversy and are only mediocre in writing style, are quite good. The depth and background information about certain topics makes for a good read. I disliked the movie for the same reason I dont like any of the HP movies, lack of accuracy. That and the fact that several characters did a piss-poor job in the movie. cough*Tom Hanks* cough.

I think Angels and Demons would have made a much better movie, lots of mass destruction, science, history and whatnot...good stuff.

His next book comes out next summer. Its called " The Solomon Key" I believe.
