I just finished reading Dan Brown's latest novel called "Origin." I've read all of his other novels (hewrote The DiVinci Code and Angels and Demons). This was a good novel, and I really enjoyed the pace of it (and I love the short chapters). It featured Prof. Robert Langdon, the same character in the over novels.It was a great concept for a story, and as a guy who works in science, I found it pretty believable.
It was pretty gripping and kept you guessing until the end. However, I did think the end /wrap up could have been different... This is a great read, but you may not think the ending was what you expected either! - Rob
I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The #1 New York Times Bestseller (October 2017) from the author of The Da Vinci Code. Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever.” The evening’s host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist, and one of Langdon’s first students. But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch’s precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Facing an imminent threat, Langdon is forced to flee. With him is Ambra Vidal, the elegant museum director who worked with Kirsch. They travel to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch’s secret. Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme religion, Langdon and Vidal must evade an enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain’s Royal Palace. They uncover clues that ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch’s shocking discovery…and the breathtaking truth that has long eluded us.
