• “Langdon and Vittoria stood alone now outside the double doors that led to the inner sanctum of the Secret Archives”
>>In this quote I can make a connection with my own life. When I was reading this part of the book… I remembered how you feel when you are about to enter to a place that you have never met… or worst, to a place you are not allowed to enter… for example when I was like 6 or 7 years old I was in blockbuster… and I saw a door and entered it… this door was the place where they stored all kind of things… and I knew I couldn’t enter… but when you are little… you are always curious. The only difference with my connection and the quote… is that Langdon and Vittoria did had permission… but instead entering to the Secret Archives of the Vatican must be something scary.

• “There was no more terror. No pain. Not even the sound of the racing wind. There was only the soft sound of lapping water, as though he were comfortably asleep on a beach.”
>> This happens just before Robert Langdon jumped out of a helicopter. It is an interesting quote because I like the way Dan Brown uses and plays with the words creating amazing sentences… creating great descriptive paragraphs… and managing to create the best books ever. In this quote he could just have said: “He jump and fell with not a bit of pain. But he always decides to use description.

• “[You are well aware,] the Camerlengo said, [that our four preferiti are not present in conclave at this moment. I ask, in the name of his late Holiness, that you proceed as you must… with faith and purpose.
>> This is a plot development quote… where I don’t know if everyone but I was shock. The preferiti means the favorites to be elected as popes… and when the four of them where missing… it was a shock… but a bigger shock was reading that a pope was going to be elected even with the preferiti away.

• “Glick smiled. [So you’re saying that last night, when the cardinals chanted Carlo Ventresca’s name together, they actually elected him Pope?”
>> This is a character and plot development. First character development because readers learn that Carlo Ventresca was actually Pope… like for 15 minutes before he abruptly committed suicide. And as well pope development, because after knowing everything Ventresca had done… we were glad to know, he suicides and was not mandating the Vatican… anymore.

Dear Dan Brown,

It was a pleasure to read your amazing book, Angels & Demons, as I turned the pages I discovered all this things that were unknown for me. All the book I have read from you are something marvelous , The Da Vinci Code was shocking, Deception point was risky… and with Angels & Demons I restate that you are one of the greatest writers in history.

As my eyes crossed each page of the book lots of questions travel around my mind, most of them were answered as I continued, but some remain in my mind and I will like you to answer them. I think the Vatican is a great location with lots of history, how do you manage to have a very huge knowledge on this location? Another thing that perplexed me is that while I was reading I saw the ambigrams, which were drawings that I had never seen, how do you manage to include them on the book? Anti Matter is something weird and I have to ask, does it really exist? Because is something quite strange and I would be scared if something like that lands on the wrong hands. My last question is about the illuminati, is that an existing brotherhood? Or did it at any moment exist?

We, the readers have known that you are kind of a symbologist … or a person that studies religion… but about your personal life, we don’t know so much. The only question I have… is: what religion do you follow? And another question… the next book you are writing is about what?

That’s it, I hope I get a response… and I hope you continue writing… because each book is better than the last one.

Sincerely
Daniela Fernandez
