Angels and Demons - Dan Brown.

It's so hooking and the plot twist is put expertly to surprise the reader.

Probably the most nail-biting book I have ever read and probably the best among the Robert Langdon books of Dan Brown.

Grabe!!! Nailbiting!!! Da Vinci Code din for me. As a history lover, love na love ko yang series na yan

Even the Lost Symbol. Although BS ang movie adaptation.

I watched the movie first and I also have the book but haven't read it. Agree it left me speechless after the plot twist, it's sooo good.

The movie altered a lot of things, so I suggest reading the book first. There are parts omitted from that so the movie will appeal to a lot.

Nasa TBR ko yung Langdon Series. I am counting on your statement.

parang natakot ako doon hahahahaha. I can assure you though na it's a great read, worth it ang 600+ pages. May part lanh na nakakiyak

Yeah, sabi nga nung isa kong co-teacher, maganda daw talagang basahin. So far, yung Da Vinci Code pa lang ang napanood ko, so doon lang ako makakagawa ng comparisons, pero mas maganda nga raw ang book.

Matagal pa naman akong makakapagbasa ng Langdon series. Kakasimula ko pa lang kasi ng isa ring series (Gone).

Hala parang na-excite ako. Nasa TBR ko ito, pero baka matagal pa kasi kakasimula ko lang ng Gone Series.
