I saw during the Super Bowl that the movie is coming out. Did anyone read the book? I read it and thought it was great. Same guy that wrote The Da Vinci Code. After reading The Da Vinci Code, the movie to me wasn't that great. I sure hope they do better with Angels & Demons.
I read Da Vinci Code and loved it. I liked (not loved) the movie the first time I saw it. The second time it was just kinda' "meh". I don't like Tom Hanks in that role. It doesn't suit him, and does nothing for the character.
I thought the book Angels & Demons was better than DaVinci, if you haven't read it you should and of course Tom Hanks will be playing in the movie also. There was another book I read by the same author, the name escapes me right now, but it didn't have anything to do with these two, but was a very good book. If I think of the name, I'll post it, you may want to read that one also.
Angels & Demons was better and I'm excited to see the movie! It was written before Da Vinci Code, but the movie has it as a sequel to Da Vinci code. Shouldn't really change anything, except it'll let them build on the story a little more. Heck, most people read them in the order the movies are coming out, anyway.
His other books are Digital Fortress and Deception Point. I plan on reading Digital Fortress soon.
