I think it was slightly better than "Da Vinci Code".
It's hard to tell the main points without spoiling the book, but let's
just say that if you read "Da Vinci Code", you won't be very
surprised.
I thought both books are good for a light reading, but not a lot more.

I read Angels and Demons before Da Vince Code movie came out. By the time DaVince was going around, I had gotten my hands on a couple of books which told about the actual places listed in the book and the usual changing of facts to make a great story. Dan Brown has to be one of the best writers I have read in a long time. He sure has a way of getting you to go to the next chapter to see what is going to happen next. Dan Brown used suspense, but also had a lot of common sense thrown into his books - and he is very interesting to read. thea

If you think Dan Brown is a good writer, you haven't read very many
good books. I read a few chapters of "The Da Vinci Code" before
deciding it was total trash and a waste of time.

Oh man. Now I'm getting curious. I love purple prose.
My choice for most unintentionally funny theist book (besides the
Bible- and does Dan Brown count?) is Pilgrim's Progress by John
Bunyan. I laughed all the way through, and honestly thought it was a
comedy. Then it came time to discuss it in English class. My
classmates were just a little shocked at my take, and I was a little
shocked to find myself in the midst of such a vast number of
Christians. In retrospect, I've often wondered if I accidentally
enrolled in a Christian school. The only one who agreed with my
(fortunately) was the professor. Oh well. Everyone lived.

He's not a very good writer, but his books are fun, in the same way that soap operas are fun.
