A Must Read!
Hi guys, I managed to watch the film just now, FINALLY!! I am very impressed by it and I'll write down the review and comparing it to the original novel as well.

The Book

I was very impressed that the story took place in Italy once again, and it has a couple of connections to the Da Vinci Code. Like when Robert Langdon is falsely accuse of stealing Dante's death mask, he has been fooled by Sienna Brooks in this version and she doesn't commit suicide in the end. But redeems herself after she fails to get the virus back, even the WHO (World Health Organisation).
The one thing I was very happy was that she chooses to work with the Organisation in the end, and she finally come to terms with Robert. I had always feel sorry for her throughout the story because it's not easy being a child prodigy!

The Film

The majority of the film is the same, with the exception of the ending in which Sienna dies and is the main antagonist of the film, she even betrays Robert in this film like in the book too.
Speaking of Sienna, her film version is different from her novel counterpart because she's completely bald and is suppose to wearing a blonde wig in the book due to an illness. But, in the film, she is a brunette.
Personally, I was a bit disappointed with the ending when Sienna chooses death. I was actually expecting her to redeem herself, but I guess she wanted to. Overall, good job by the stars themselves!

Beautiful Settings

Okay, the majority of the settings is in Florence and Venice, Italy and Istanbul, Turkey. Surprisingly, it was also shot in Budapest, Hungary. Especially during the airport scene too, the film really makes want to go to both Italy and Turkey since that I have been to Hungary already.

Conclusion

So, here is my review on the film and I hope you read the book and watch the film, it's a must see and must read novel and speaking of Dan Brown. He will be coming up with a new book with Robert Langdon in it again called 'Origin' which is due to come out later this year in October, I just can't wait for it!

Hi guys, I had read Digital Fortress and this book is the first without Robert Langdon.

The Story-Line

The story is very unpredictably scary, because you know that something is going to happen at the end of the chapters. I'm glad that Susan and David got married each other in the end, despite that they were separated for the majority of the story.

The Characters

Susan and David reminds me of Robert Langdon, mainly because they are curious and occasionally impulsive. Throughout the story, they thought that they were going to lose each other, but it is a happy ending when they reunite at last!

The Story:

Hello everyone, I will writing a review on Dan Brown's latest novel to which I managed to finish reading it a couple of weeks ago.

The Story

Once again, the story fascinates me starring Robert Langdon on his new adventure. This time, the theme deals with religion and science, but most importantly Atheism. An interesting topic indeed!
It was also sad that Langdon's first student and friend, Edmond Kirsch was silenced by being killed due to his outspoken atheist beliefs. It was later discovered that his assassin, is actually a tragic character name Admiral Luis Avila. To which I will write more...
