I felt like a was reading a screenplay when reading the book (sort of like any Michael Crichton book ever written), anyway. I don't think there is lots of deep subtext that will be hard to capture in a movie. It's your basic thriller, within an interesting religious setting. I think Angels and Demons would make a better movie, mainly because of the primary setting.
Both books were great fun to read due to their clever and original settings, even though within those settings they are pretty formulaic. I found all the religious mumbo-jumbo to be a blast to read, especially because much of it has some surface truth to it.
