A wonderful tale of the adventures of Robert Langdon. This is pure escapism and high adrenaline. It does not have the symbolism of the Da Vinci Code, but it is just a good, fun story. Read it for entertainment and not anything else and it is very enjoyable.

Loved the marriage of faith, occultism, thriller and personal journey of all the Robert Langdon journeys.

Two stars as this was my least favorite of Dan Brown’s books. I kept reading and reading (through a lot of "filler"---man, I'd forgotten how much filler he adds) to get to the Big Reveal and it was ridiculous. Anyone could've come up with the same conclusion. Gimme a break, Dan Brown. Letdown.

Dan Brown writes the same book once again. This time with a hint of implausible science fiction and easily guessed plot twists. And philosophical views you may or may not like but probably had already considered.
Still entertaining and easy to read, as expected.

I enjoy the history and art that is such an integral part of many of Brown's books. I was excited when the book started with Langdon experiencing the fog sculpture that my daughter, Tessa, had sent me video of when she was studying in Spain. Good stuff.
Much of this book is talking about answering the questions, where did we come from? and Where are we going? It is with complete calm that I can read these theories and arguments against religion because I have come to know in my life that we sometimes can only "know" mysteries through the Spirit teaching us and I am confident that I know where I came from and the potential for where I am going. I think it is good to learn all we can through science--our Creator controls science too after all. I do not have enough education in all things scientific to know if the science in this book made sense. I just accepted that the author did his homework.

Meh.
I would not recommend this book to anyone who doesn’t already know and like the series or the author.
About half-way through the book, past the background and setup, the story started to feel hollow and the chapters became a slog to read.
Although I think the main story is interesting and perhaps sometimes fun, the other two hundred pages, or so, drags my overall impression down
