Loved rereading this via audio! Good pace and pulling in the art history and current topics of world health even if pushed to some extremes some times. The variety of characters and perspectives kept you guessing what would happen next. Forgot how this book ended and it was exciting to read again. Interesting discussions of plagues and pandemics now after 2020.

3.0

While extremely formulaic and eye-roll worthy, Dan Brown books are always entertaining with a huge amount of genuinely interesting historical information. I liked the twists and ending with this one more than the others, and the antagonist had a really interesting and valid backstory, unlike many other of his antagonists. I enjoyed it despite its flaws because I knew what to expect, but you’re looking for great character development or originality, look somewhere else.

3.75

4.5/5 stars in the superficial-but-fun scale.

A fast-moving thriller which felt like a cross between Indiana Jones and James Bond. It’s well written and all the characters are well drawn and relatable. The MC/narrator is reliable, but much else is not what it seems.

Quibbles: a misuse of ‘enormity’ in Chapter 88 (‘enormousness’ not ‘exceedingly horrible’ is clearly meant), and given the scientific context, the misuse of ‘quantum leap’ in Chapter 102 with the sense of a huge leap (rather than the smallest possible leap) is rather odd.
