Less action packed than Inferno but nevertheless, Robert Langdon was on another wild goose chase and I loved that.

"The dark religions are departed and sweet science reigns." William Blake Well, perhaps not yet, but we're getting there. The world is becoming more agnostic, more anti-organized religion than ever. Those of us who think of the world's…

As a Dan Brown Lover, Origin was another hit for me, and for anyone who loves a mind-boggling, educative (in a good way) mystery, it is sure to satisfy. The story follows our beloved Robert Langdon, who once again finds himself in the…

This was the first Dan Brown I read, maybe that was a mistake. It was definitely gripping, but the premise setup is way too long, the main essence of the story came only in the last 100-150 pages, while the rest of the book was mere…

Plenty of action here as Professor Robert Langdon (DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons) finds himself up close and personal with artificial intelligence. Lives are on the line in this fast paced story. And the plot prompts several questions…

How does the new system work? Do you notify me when this is available for pickup?

Third Dan Brown I've read so far - not the greatest. It wasn't bad by any means, but compared to his other work I found this one a bit underwhelming. It didn't have the impact the first two novels and I felt as though the characters were…

A fun romp with Robert Langdon. It's almost a formula now to have the book seem to be one thing and then Langdon gets the sharp end of a situation and goes on the run while working to solve some huge mystery. Overall a good read, not up…

I thought the plot built up the "mystery" of the origin of man too much for what Dan Brown ultimately explained. It just did not seem as developed as some of his other books.

Another excellent adventure of Robert Langdon. This time Robert finds himself in a whirlwind of mystery surrounding the death of his dear friend, Edmund Kirsch, who is on the verge of discovering a scientific breakthrough.

The best Brown novel in recent memory. Other than the mandatory movie-friendly plot line (Langdon on the run with a pretty woman at his side, again), the story was solid. The supporting characters had some depth to them. As always, the…

Not as exciting as reading Angels and Demons, but it was an exciting read nonetheless.

I wish I had found this visual companion to Origin before I had finished reading the book, but better late than never. Great images, including maps, of all the places in the novel. https://langdonsworld.com/category/origin/01-prologue/

I was a bit disappointed by this last novel by Dan Brown. I suppose it is not easy to keep your books extremely original and I am not saying that this is a bad book. On the contrary, it has the usual suspense and high-speed action that we…

I love the Robert Langdon series. This was just not my favorite Robert Langdon story and I wasn't wowed by the subject or twist...I feel like we all already know this is happening.

This is the best book; set in Spain; many places where we have been and want to return. concerns "no god" and artificial intelligence. Professor Langdon.

Another historically embellished but entertaining piece from Dan Brown. This author takes many liberties, but for the sake of fun. A good vacation read.

This novel has elements of plots in Dan Brown's other books, plus scifi that is realizable in Millennium's lifetime, and a future that religions with deity have to ponder. Ingenious in weaving it all together.

I am very, very picky when it comes to books. I read a lot of reviews about this book before deciding to read it. A lot of people didn't like it, but I took the risk. Much to my surprise, I liked this book. Wow. And I was surprised by…

An earth shaking premise-never achieved despite the usual cast of bad guys in the church-yes that church which is actually populated today by bad guys still. Sadly I rate the author against his first great success and that is perhaps…

The whole book prepares us for some earth shattering information that should shatter everything that we know about where we come from and where we are heading. What a crock. In the end, after much zigzagging, we learn that... well, we…

Robert Langdon is again the pawn in one of the better Dan Brown thrillers. The pacing is quick, the characters are memorable and the settings and architecture are spectacular. The premis that a brilliant scientist is about to answer the…

By trade, I am a travel agent so when I finally got my copy of Origin which has been on hold for a year, I was truly delighted because I had no idea that the central character was Spain. I'm thinking, "Oh Great, another Dan Brown tour to…
