full of shit
i finished reading angels & demons yesterday and have come to the conclusion that it sucks. it is a fictional book filled with real places, organisations, historical happenings and lots of useless but interesting trivia. and it's fictional. so i was constantly wondering if the seemingly nonsensical things he was writing about were real or not. and somewhere in the middle of the book, i decided to treat everything as fictional.
and the book still sucked. it appears that the author was too engrossed in making his book interesting and suspense-filled to the point where everything got out of hand and turned retarded. having 20,000 twists in a story isin't exactly ingenious. he trys to make readers feel in suspense but he sucks too much to make it work.
an example of why the book is full of shit -
"nonetheless, more out of paralysis than hope, he clenched in his hands the sole object he had grabbed from the chopper on his way out the door. it was an odd momento, but it was one that for a fleeting instant had given him hope. the windshield tarp had been lying in the back of the helicopter... langdon had grabbed it, slid his hands through the loops, held on, and leapt out into the void. his last act of youthful defiance."
page 506 - angels & demons
he just happened to grap a piece of cloth which then happened to be strong enough to save his life. who the hell doesn't agree how bullshitty this is? maybe it would have worked in a brainless action movie. but this book was supposed to have some depth other than the great list of historical happenings and other assorted bullshit.
maybe i was expecting too much. i'd rather read harry potter. the new book is coming out soon.
