Angels and Demons

just finished reading my second dan brown's book - angels and demons. really intereting...now looking foward to read the next book, the most famous of his work to this date - da vinci's code...

i found the ambigrams in the book particularly interesting. An ambigram, to those who doesn't know what it is, is a word written in such a way that it is legible both rightside-up and upside-down. Ambigrams are an ancient artform and play heavily into the mysteries of Angels & Demons.

here's an example of an ambigram...(the title of the book) it's legible upside down!!! don't believe? have a look!!

I've read this book too and I enjoyed it. You're right, the ambigrams are rather interesting.

You'll find another one in "The Da Vinci Code" too. Have fun reading it, it's as nice as "Angels and Demons".
