Reading Dan Brown books is like eating candy or a bag of crisps: sometimes you just feel like it, you know what to expect, munch it down way too quick and feel a bit bloated afterwards ;-) Read Origin if you like to know about the main ‘tourist traps’ of Barcelona, Madrid and Bilbao and the expected science verses religion banter. Reading it in 2025, the overtly fanboy-ism for Musk/Tesla (a side note in the story) did not age well…
