Leonardo Vetra was the foster parent of Vittoria. He was a priest and adopted her when she proved that she was smart in mathematics. Vittoria and Kohler showed Langdon a particle accelerator under their facility. He was amazed by it. After that, Vittoria showed Kohler and Langdon a secret project that she and her father had been working on, anti-matter. A small amount f anti-matter was very unstable and could cause a large explosion. After Vitoria showed them a small example, she wanted to show them a hidden container of anti-matter, a much larger container. When they went down to see it, they stopped at a retina-scanner. When she put her eye to it, she realized there was blood on it. She looked down and saw her father's eye.
I still really like this book. Dan Brown writes very well in the sense that he is introducing all this stuff like particle accelerators and anti-matter, but he explains it so well, you would think you had prior knowledge of these things. I thought the end of the chapters that I read was very suspenseful because I realized that bad people used Leonardo's eye in order to break into the hazmat room and steal the large quantity of anti-matter. I can't wait to read more and post about it.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you read Grapes of Wrath. I hope you'll read more Steinbeck--he's WONDERFUL!!
Angels and Demons was such an exciting book. I raced through it in about a day. This was also true for The DaVinci Code. Have you read that yet? Brown gives us enough foreshadowing to know that trivia will be important to his survival, but it's hard to imagine how!
