A review by interphantom
Origin by Dan Brown
1.0
Sad to say, but this is the last Dan Brown book I'll be reading. While he was never the deepest of writers, his books are getting to be less of a fun read and more of a chore. This book was horribly predictable, and the standard Dan Brown formula. What used to be "a-ha" concepts were more of a "oh... huh... ok" in this book. Its gotten to the point where I think he throws a dart at a map, pulls up Wikipedia and gathers random facts about that area, then builds a story against Catholicism around it all. Its odd to be reading a pretty shallow adventure story then be hit with a paragraph with encyclopedic information about something Langdon has come across. The photographic memory shtick is getting overused.
