A review by onetrooluff
Origin by Dan Brown
4.0
I have read all the Dan Brown books now except Digital Fortress. I have to say, the Robert Langdon books in particular all feel like the same book in different settings - clues clues clues, chase chase chase, beautiful and intelligent foreign female companion. At least this one was already engaged so she didn't end up with Langdon this time around.
I correctly pegged who the "bad guy" was maybe halfway through the book, so they're either getting more predictable, or I'm just getting used to how the series works.
All that said, it's 460 pages and it's still mostly a page-turner. The buildup to the final resolution felt like it took FOREVERRRRRR. I did learn a lot (as usual) because I go look up all the art and buildings that are mentioned.
