Origin by Dan Brown
3.0

Dan Brown is one of my favourite authors, and I adored the Robert Langdon series. My favourite books of all time are The Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, and The Lost Symbol. So, when Inferno was released, my expectations were high, but the book disappointed me. So I took a break from Dan Brown, and when Origin was released, I decided to postpone my reading. I read Origin recently, after the effects of Inferno had faded.
Robert Langdon first appears at a presentation hosted by his student Edmond Kirsch. The futurist is preparing a revelation that will shake the foundations of all religions. Langdon is back in action after the announcement did not go as planned. The novel got off to a good start and quickly drew me in. Dan Brown's writing style never gets old to me, and this one was no exception. I started reading the book with great interest, but it lost its allure as it progressed. The author is very descriptive of the surroundings, which is a little irritating. These descriptions should be avoided by the author. They may be educational, but they are sabotaging the plot. Because of this, a good plot lost its appeal.
The book's plot seemed captivating at first, but it soon lost its allure. Dan Brown attempted to cover a wide range of topics, but some of them fell flat. The ending was satisfactory, with a satisfying twist. I don't think I'll give it much of a recommendation. If you're a Dan Brown fan who skipped this book, you probably made the right decision.
