Angels and Demons

Tuesday, May 26, 2009 , In , ,

the book, not the movie. yes, i can't believe i'm actually reading now. i watched the movie, yes. but i didn't really felt satisfied after coming out of the movie theater. don't get me wrong. i like the movie. it's fast-paced, it's thrilling, it's tom hanks, it's the illuminati! but somehow i feel like something is missing from the picture. like there's a few missing pieces to the puzzle. maybe i'm expecting too much of it. and so i said to myself; i had to go watch it one more time! but boy was i in for an unexpected surprise!


a couple of days later, i was lepaking at old town bangi, and there i saw a nice looking copy of angels & demons sitting there on the chair next to my table. i text aishah and told her about it. "ambik jelah", she said. well i waited for almost half n hour n nobody came to claim it. so with careful consideration and a few more minute waiting, i finally took borrowed it :D (i left my cell number at the counter in case some1 came back for it. but so far i've yet to receive any call from the kopitiam or the owner of the book)

i just finished reading chapter 29, page 104, and langdon hasn't even sat foot on rome yet! the prologue is totally different from the one in the big screens. and i find the book version more... um... complete. yah maybe i'll find the missing pieces from the movie in the book :)

Angels & Demons (2009)



can't wait to finish the book~

aku dah tengok cite ni
dan aku rase cite ni meng x best
mula2 mase aku tengok traler die gempak, tapi bila aku tengk movie die hampeh . sangat membosankan dan lebik kepada pertelingkahan dalam gereja je. aku ingat ni cite horror tapi banyak adengan2 yang slow dan membosankan. aku kalau leh nak bagi 1 setengah bintang je

i watched it wif siela n have quite interesting debate with her after that.
nice muvi - kudos to the director!
but as u said, there are some loose ends dlm muvi nih. but not sure i will read the book, bcoz i'm the impatient type, always skipping chapters. maybe it would be nice if en tomi mempunyai masa lapang untuk mencoretknnya di dlm blog ini heee~

p/s:to siela, gud luck wif the kopitiam mission!
