I am not ashamed to admit I enjoy a good Dan Brown novel and this one didn't let me down.
He crafts a very interesting story and as always my book is full of sticky tabs with places and art work that I have to Google in order to appreciate the vivid places and pieces he paints in his books.
The story is a very good one, several twists and follows the usual Robert Langdon formula. I very much nejoyed it though I did wonder what would fill the last 40 or so pages but the end proved quite conclusive and with some excellent twists. When things are explained you are left thinking, it's so obvious!
Thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next installment.

This book was entertaining and surprisingly fast for the length. I guessed the ending, but there's a nice little twist at the end. Interested to read the davinci code and see the development of the charcuterie. Overall the exact kind of book you would want for a book club.

YES. Langdon does it again. Considering all of these books are kind of the same story, they are page turners regardless. Brown does a great job of teasing the reader to keep going. The history, art, architecture, and religion discussed in these books are so fun and they way he incorporates those “academic” content into the plot. **Spoiler** the double twist at the end is awesome. So great. One I called early on but the second one blew my mind. Thank you Dan Brown.

Of coarse Dan Brown is highly predictable and follows the same formula every time - but this was also really entertaining. I love that Brown always dives into history and that anything he talks about you can look up and see that it's a real building/ organization/ movement: I genuinely learn a lot while reading these books.
I also like that Brown always touches on important and current world topics... Origin deals with science vs. religion and their ever changing relationship. To be honest, I felt the element of mystery in this book took more of a back seat then in previous books (and maybe that's because I know Robert Langdon and his beautiful accomplice will ultimately solve the case and come out unscathed) but still an enticing read.

Couldn't finish the book. After getting around 1/4 way through and reading my second paragraph of product placement in the book - this time for Uber - I had to put it down. It kills the story.

Is full of unforeseen twists and turns. Was a little disappointed with the final reveal, but the book had yet another surprise in store for me.
Dan Brown is truly a master of his craft. Just like Robert Langdon. ♥️

i think i tried this one because i read the rest of the series, but i just can’t do it. i didn’t get far enough in to decide if this was “good” or not, but i’m done with robert langdon and i don’t need to read this one at all
