After spending quite some time on the internet, I am forced to admit that spending too much time on the internet will make me lose all faith in humanity.

Where the writer points out that the story isn't entirely factual. In fact, some of the landmarks on Dan Brown's fictional map of Rome aren't where they're supposed to be, blah blah blah. Even I was forced to tl;dr. I couldn't take the whole thing in.
Why?
Because NO s**t!!! Is this person honestly trying to say that Angels and Demons isn't factually correct while also trying to say that it's supposed to be? It's a work of fiction. It's meant to entertain, not enlighten. If we want enlightenment we can read books that don't say, "This book is a work of fiction. The characters, incidents, and dialogues are products of the author’s imagination and are not to be construed as real. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental."
The writer of whatever blog that was asserts that the book contains fictional references and isn't factual.
I repeat: no s**t. stare
