And so tomorrow my holiday draws to a close and its back to ledgers and spreadsheets for tyger.

I have enjoyed my time here in Tallinn although today I have withdrawn to my apartment to finish my holiday book – Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons; and yes I can thoroughly say without hyperbole that Dan Brown’s books are worthy of their popularity. The structure of the narrative and the carefully rendered timeline are perfect, and the pace of the novel became ferocious as the story concluded.

Like all good thriller writers Brown gave carefully placed clues as to the books villains, and throughout the book you were looking to second guess where the story was headed. Over his six hundred pages (paperback) Brown skillfully created multiple diverse and well-constructed characters and gave readers a frantic, yet informed, tour of both The Vatican City and Rome. I would be surprised if any reader finished the book and did not have a yearning for more insight into symbolism and art history.

I guess now I must succumb to The Da Vinci Code….
