About the author
Dan Brown
80 books112k followersDan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci Code, which has become one of the best selling novels of all time as well as the subject of intellectual debate among readers and scholars. Brown’s novels are published in 56 languages around the world with over 200 million copies in print.
In 2005, Brown was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine, whose editors credited him with “keeping the publishing industry afloat; renewed interest in Leonardo da Vinci and early Christian history; spiking tourism to Paris and Rome; a growing membership in secret societies; the ire of Cardinals in Rome; eight books denying the claims of the novel and seven guides to read along with it; a flood of historical thrillers; and a major motion picture franchise.”
The son of a mathematics teacher and a church organist, Brown was raised on a prep school campus where he developed a fascination with the paradoxical interplay between science and religion. These themes eventually formed the backdrop for his books. He is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he later returned to teach English before focusing his attention full time to writing. He lives in New England with his yellow lab, Winston.
Brown’s latest novel, Origin, explores two of the fundamental questions of humankind: Where do we come from? Where are we going?

Dan Brown 4-Book Boxset: Angel & Demons / The da Vinci Code / The Lost Symbol / Inferno all great books.
What a tangled web Dan has written. Our intro to Robert Langdon started with a bang and only gets better. Add in his other book,s and you have a box set of great reads. I am addicted to his writing. His narrative makes it feel like you are in on the chase, finding clues, not knowing who to trust adds to the mystery and suspense of it all.
I have read most of his books several times and am rereading them again because they are so good. I remember when he first started writing, so I had to see what all the fuss was about and haven't stopped reading since.

Angels & Demons ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book is amazing. But it is a work of fiction so if your very religious or think the storyline is bogus and your going to read it then dissect it instead of just enjoying the amazing story and plot then just don't bother. It's crazy the amount of people I know that have done just that and not just enjoyed this amazing work of fiction.
Their is a small love interest in the book but romance reader beware it takes a very back seat to the story but for me because the overall story is so good i didn't mind. Great ending.
Da Vinci Code⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely loved this book. The plot and scenes it creates in your head is amazing and if you’ve been to the places it's even better then. Like Angel and Demons it's a work of FICTION and if your going to over analyse this book then dissect it for all the stuff you think is wrong with it then just don't bother reading it. I loved it. No great romance which is usually a must for me but cos the story's so good I can let it go.
Lost Symbols⭐️⭐️⭐️
Robert is phoned my his very close friend Peter Solomon assistant who is a Mason and very close friend of Robert's. He asks him to come to Washington with a artefact he left in Roberts safe keeping.
Robert come thinking he's presenting at the Capital building but things start going terribly wrong. Peters hand is found in the middle of the main hall with his Masonic ring still on his finger.
Robert and peters sister Katherine join together to find the answer to the artefact left in Roberts safe keeping and the secret map to the lost world kept secret from the world by the Masons.
I did enjoy this book not as much as Angels and Demons or Di Vinci.
At times this book slowed a lot for me especially when you were skipping between different members CIA or Mason brother's and then what Robert/Katherine get up to.
I did feel this book is even more Wikipedia then previous books. I did feel it did at times make some sections boring for me and the end was ok but not eye opening. A little anticlimactic but overall story was good.
Inferno⭐️⭐️
I has taken me on/off 2yrs to finish this book first parts are really slow and I feel a lot of the time DB waffled a lot. I usually like the detailed background stuff about historical things like the horses at St Marks sq in Venice but it did feel he went on for ages and could have shorten alt of the internal monologue.
I did eventually finish pretty quickly once I was more then half way through but I didn’t like then ending. It wrapped up everything but the actual problem Langdon has been trying to stop through the whole book.
The DB books are hit or miss with being great or being slow and ok but because of this I keep buying his books

IL RE DEL THRILLER STORICO
Dan Brown ha aperto per me le porte di un nuovo mondo, rivelandosi il migliore autore di thriller storici. Mi ha affidata poi a Robert Langdon, che non ha deluso le mie aspettative: la forza di questo personaggio non sta solo nella sua enorme cultura ed intelligenza, bensì anche nella sua debolezza ed insicurezza e nel modo in cui è capace di vincerle per dare una soluzione ai misteri che gli si parano davanti.
Se dovessi fare una classifica di questi romanzi in ordine di gradimento, "Angeli e demoni" sarebbe al primo posto non solo per il ritmo incalzante (che, tra l'altro, ha reso piacevole la lettura di tutti questi libri), ma soprattutto per il susseguirsi di colpi di scena alla fine che mi ha lasciato imbambolata per diversi minuti:
Subito dopo ci sarebbe "Inferno", che mi ha stupito per gli inaspettati risvolti della vicenda e di cui ho adorato sia il tema di partenza, quello letterario della Divina Commedia, sia il punto d'arrivo, rappresentato da un problema sempre più preoccupante, quello della sovrappopolazione del nostro pianeta. Inquietante il legame che s'instaura tra i due, il quale si risolve in un finale a dir poco geniale.
"Il codice da Vinci" è stato il primo che ho letto, consigliato da un'amica che Brown era riuscito ad "ingannare". A me, invece, ha lasciato l'amaro in bocca, perché ho intuito relativamente presto chi ci fosse dietro tutti i crimini. Promosso comunque a pieni voti, per la grande attrattiva esercitata da questioni storiche, mitiche e religiose (la ricerca del Santo Graal e altre di cui taccio per evitare di anticipare qualcosa) che alimentano una crescente sete di informazioni e un'incontenibile voglia di scoprire come queste s'incaselleranno nel caso da risolvere.
Infine vi è "Il simbolo perduto", il cui argomento, la massoneria, non mi attirava tanto quanto quelli dei romanzi precedenti e perciò ha finito per annoiarmi. Ma questo non vuol dire che non l'abbia divorato in pochi giorni, spiazzata dagli innumerevoli plot twists e in preda ad una forte curiosità di sapere come sarebbe andata a finire.

OVERALL: 4 Stars
Angels & Demons (Robert Langdon #1) - 5 Stars
This is the first Dan Brown book that I read and I was hooked! I loved the character of Robert Langdon and the whole storyline kept me entertained until the end. I loved how believable the plot line was and how interesting all of the myths were.
The Da Vinci Code (Robert Langdon #2) - 5 Stars
This was the first book that I read by Dan Brown and I was more than hooked. I totally got into the story and Brown has a way with words making the whole story sound extremely plausible. I fully admit I was like "hmmm, ok, I can see that."
The Lost Symbol (Robert Langdon #3) - 3 Stars
Inferno (Robert Langdon #4) - 3 Stars
His book took me forever to get through. I liked it way better than his previous Lost Symbol however I found myself still trying to trudge through the story. This book just doesn’t live up to The Da Vinci Code for me even though the whole entire concept is extremely intriguing. I do like the affirmative writing style where Brown so efficiently makes the reader believe what he says. Langdon just came off kind of flat for me, I didn't like him.
