This prequel to The DaVinci Code, was similarly entertaining with its descriptive, in depth references on "symbology", art and architecture, and its narratives on religious debate. It was a fun, fast-paced read, but I knocked off a star because I felt some of the puzzles were too easy, some of the plot predictable, and parts of the ending unrealistic.

I agree entirely. The ending of Angels & Demons felt like Brown couldn't quite figure out how to end it. It is interesting to see how Brown improved between Angels & Demons and The DaVinci Code though.

And now they are making a movie out of it! Somehow they want it to be a sequel to DaVinci Code, but as it is a prequel, I don't know how they will do it.

May I suggest the book "He came to set the captives free." by Rebeca Brown. It's similar, but it is a true to life story of a priestest.
