The struggle with many a rigid Logooli cultural practices

  The Logooli community is one of the deeply cultured societies – with near everything supposed to have been done as per custom – to allow another custom to follow. One example is that for a mature man (with a child or more) to be buried, there must be a house structure at home. Another is that a boy must be circumcised and nursed in father land. If maternal family decides to, the boy will have a hard time reconnecting with father people - a dent on his masculinity. There were two children who got burnt to death in a house in Nairobi. The single mother had left for night work. Elders were told that one of the children was Logooli. The other, the woman had sired with someone else. The Logooli family wanted to burry their little one and long discussed the do’s and don’ts. Of a man who died childless and the grave was placed as if he had died as a man with children.

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

Robert Langdon miraculously escapes death, flies strangely, doesn't die or get hurt, doing everything in a few hours to save Vatican, the home of churching, given Vetra to boost his scheming, balancing the world - matter and antimatter. Call the whole story some facade.

Extensive research he acknowledges before the blurb saying how he got the best of ambigrams and visited the secret of the places in Vatican. That doesn't make the idea being propelled authentic. You see, a writer can expose his flaws in ways that writing betrays his stands. Making one contradictory, shallow and verbose. It could be this article may  say something about the writer too.

The story is superb with suspense and ontime faults. Keeping the reader glued to a greater end that ends on a light note, none would shed a tear no matter the sentimentality of a reader. The Carmelago gets from the plane to the cross, the antimatter glows in the dark night, the whole world and cameras agape. Low moments that otherwise intended to serve as catch moments. Best learning points are none but reads about Bernini and angels, the poem...not the God-no-God talk. That only attracts a person who may not have earlier enjoyed Da Vinci Code, one of Dan's best works. Say anything against Vatican and you sell.

Though real, the horror the book feeds a reader is either leading to see Vatican as all time persecuted body and CERN as a failed institution by Kohler's actions. Not getting the antimatter back to CERN only to destroy Leonardo's life breaking invention turns humanity back, so back that Vetra wants a Yoga style with Robert, the rudemost of human engagements. The worst of labs!
