Angels and Demons After reading the Da Vinci Code this was a little disappointing for me. The story structure was just about the the same, dead body with a message, clever professor and an intellectual damsel, difficult authority figures, race against time etc.. The science was not well researched, some rather dubious anti-matter claims and rather silly relationship between anti-matter, free, clean energy, the big bang and religeon. It ignores the enormous energy cost, pollution and poor efficiency involved in creating the anti-matter in the first place. Anti-matter has been known about since 1928 when it was postulated by Dirac and confirmed by experiment in 1932, with the discovery of the positron. The idea supports E=mc2, that is all. It does not keep the Pope awake at night, I am sure. After reading the Da Vinci code I expected a better researched book. Still it was a good read and once I forgot the science flaws I got into the story and enjoyed it.
