What an incredible journey! I must admit, there were moments in this book that left me feeling a bit bewildered. The concepts and language used were quite advanced, often surpassing my knowledge and requiring frequent Google searches to fully grasp. However, Dan Brown, in his signature style, masterfully provides readers with enough insights to comprehend the core ideas if approached with careful attention. Without a doubt, this book is a worthwhile read, and I would even place it in the same league as his previous masterpiece, The Da Vinci Code.
Within the pages of Origin, we are immersed in the captivating narrative of Robert Langdon, the renowned professor, as he embarks on yet another perilous mission alongside his steadfast “lady friend.” Their objective? To broadcast their dear friend’s groundbreaking announcement to the world. With the aid of Winston, a supercomputer with unimaginable capabilities, they strive to unveil what Edmond Kirsch had desperately attempted to convey before meeting an untimely fate.
While the story primarily revolves around problem-solving and thrilling journeys across diverse landscapes, there is a noticeable undercurrent of romance and deep friendships among the main characters. This element adds a delightful touch, keeping the story flowing smoothly even when navigating through cryptic intelligence that demands heightened concentration.
As previously mentioned, I found the overall storyline rather perplexing, as it delves into subjects that surpass my understanding. Nevertheless, I must acknowledge that the ideas presented in this book have sparked profound contemplation on the fundamental questions of our origins and destiny.
Overall, Origin has been a captivating and enjoyable read, particularly for enthusiasts of the fantasy genre. I highly recommend this book to mature readers, although young adults seeking a challenge may also find it enthralling. As for my rating, I confidently bestow upon this book 8.5 stars out of 10.
