I think it was the combination of reading them in order ("Angels" followed by "DaVinci") as well as reading them back to back.

This was also back in 2006 when the movie was coming out so there was a lot of hype about it. There really isn't any way it could have lived up to the reputation it had at that time.

Edit: Just realized I misread the question a little bit.

I'm not sure. As mentioned above, I read them in 2006 so it's hard to say and I don't have a desire to reread either of them.
I do think I still would have prefered "Angels" because I didn't skim. They are basically the same book, but I think "Angels" was a bit more concise (better editing??) and "DaVinci" was a bit more long winded.
