Origin by Dan Brown
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

If you are looking for some great conspiracy with exciting cryptology, you would definitely be disappointed with this book. I personally think Dan Brown exhausted all his creativity in the past few books with regards to religion and symbols, this new book is mediocre.

The storyline was predictive, codes were mediocre and tactics were commercialized with the introduction of an AI. I think he has the idea of this book will be shot into a movie (which is fun to see Winston comes to life in a movie adaptation). The additional humour with the interaction with Winston makes the book more entertaining to read.

What Dan Brown never fail to create is, the intricacy of every country he has written. After this book, you would definitely like to visit Spain to see all the different buildings that was being illustrated in the book.

The book is definitely a page turner to solve the mystery of what Edmond Kirsch going to disclose. However, I felt the "idea" wasn't great enough to account for the killings.

Is still a pretty good book to pass your time but, be prepared to be really disappointed. You won't get a satisfaction out of it.
