Origin by Dan Brown

3.0

I hate to rate any Dan Brown book less than 5 stars, but I just did not enjoy this one very much. I felt like there was not enough action to keep me interested or enough shocking twists. At some points it almost seemed like Robert Langdon was just name dropping and showing off knowledge that had little to do with the situation. I did like all the discussion of religion vs science and the different point of views. I enjoyed the final reveal after slogging through the book and thought the explanation was pretty interesting. However, the shocking twist

where Winston explains how he set up the murder and everything afterwards

I had already predicted. All in all I enjoyed the concept, but felt the actually story telling lacked some of the dramatic and fast paced action that I usually look forward to.
