Critical Resources for "Angels and Demons"

By now you have probably heard of the movie or read the book "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. A prequel / sequel to his bestselling The Da Vinci Code, this entire book (and now movie), like the other is entirely fiction, despite any claims of the author to the contrary. Since it has raised a number of theological issues and unfortunately even caused some Catholics to question their faith, here are few resources and reviews that will help you critically read and refute the book.
