I finally did it. After ignoring all the hype about Dan Brown’s latest book for weeks, I finally broke down and bought a copy.

I’m not sure why. While I sort of enjoyed The DaVinci Code before people started taking it seriously, Angels and Demons was a complete bust for me. I passed both books on to my friend to read after I was done with them, and I’m absolutely certain she never made it through A&D. Neither did most folks. I can presume this because she dragged me to the movies to see Tom Hanks struggle through the mess, and I seemed to be the only person in the theater that wasn’t surprised at the ending.

Why did I buy? I can’t figure it out.

Part of it, I suppose, was curiosity. Part of it was that I can’t honestly say all the nasty things I want to say about it until I’ve read it.

One thing’s for certain, though. I WILL NOT be going to the movie adaptation IF I make it to the end of the book. If I see the movie, I want to be as surprised as everyone else in the theater for a change.
