I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt the mystery elements were somewhat predictable but the discourse concerning science and religion was very thought provoking and intriguing. A delightful bonus was learning more about Gaudí and the more recent history of Spain.

Nach langer Pause mal wieder einen Dan Brown gelesen und es ist immer noch das gleiche Prinzip: Super spannend zu lesen, man darf aber nicht näher drüber nachdenken.

Was mich hier gerade Anfangs sehr irritiert hat: Es geht um den Konflikt zwischen Religion und Wissenschaft und eine Enthüllung, die den Kampf zugunsten der Wissenschaft entscheiden wird. In Origin wird das unheimlich dramatisiert und ich frage mich ob die Irritationhier nur bei mir liegt: Religion spielt zumindest in meinem Umfeld jetzt schon keine Rolle mehr. Ein solch bahnbrechende Enthüllung ist also gar nicht mehr möglich. Aber durchaus möglich, dass das in Ländern wie Spanien oder den USA noch ganz anders gesehen wird.

This is probably my favorite book in the series so far. I am a scientist and a recent convert to the Catholic Church and I’ve struggled with trying to reconcile my scientific and religious beliefs. This book put things into an excellent perspective while also sucking me into a wild adventure through a country I’d love to visit. Dan Brown’s books are writing my future travel itineraries, from museums to cathedrals, now I want to see it all for real.
