i thought angles and demons and the davinci cose were like ..really alike lol .. both started out the same ... both had women which he aventually .. well .. you know ... and they both had that same plot of going clue to clue finding stuff ...

i liked the DaVinci code better because it wasn't like an action movie near the end like angles and demons was lol

pretty much agree, it does seem like a very 'Hollywood' ending. to me it seeemd like the end would happen quikly but the ending seemed to be 1/2 of the book. i thought there was striking similarities at the start but things changed.

from what i gather, the other 2 books of his do not revolve around the same character.

Instant Confidence - Paul McKenna

was quite curious about this one, i think McKenna is pretty good at wat he did so had to check it out. it's pretty short - read it all in a couple of hours. but gives you some mind excercies to do every day.

At school, I am reading Mutant Message Down Under. It's a story
of an Australian woman having an adventure with the Aboriginals through Australia.
There's so much interesting stuff in there, such as Divine Oneness, using the Earth as a resource without destroying anything, and things you usually think are bad are actually doing something good to you.

After that, I am going to be reading Stalingrad, a really good book by the looks and it is an
International Best Seller as well. It has a good press on the back as well.

Still reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as well at home.
