Origin by Dan Brown
3.0

This took me a bit to finish not just because I’ve been busy but also because this book felt SO LONG. The delay of the announcement was killing me. I get that that was the big reveal but ughhh it was just detailed descriptions of buildings and honestly boring government activity that I feel did not need to be in there.

I liked the overall message of the ending, it was nice. Just could’ve been a shorter book. The one thing I really liked was the plot twist at the end, that was very good and not expected. I think that added a depth to the story which I appreciated but it just took so long to get there.

Overall, a fine story that just didn’t develop very well for my personal reading preference.
