Origin

Oh man. You don't expect much from a Dan Brown book, but this was just so much nothing dressed up to sound smart and interesting, and it takes forever for anything to happen. The reveal at the end was interesting though, I'll give him that.

Also, two books in a row where the woman can't have children and is haunted by it? Gross. Plus, given how the last book ended, does it even matter in this one that the woman can't have kids?

There was also one of the interviews where someone described themselves as “a space scientist”, which, wut?

It was good enough fluff, but any of the previous Langdon books are better.

eta: I was reminded about another issue I had with this when I saw a meme on Facebook. There's a part where Langdon's written a problem out in Greek and asks the woman if it's correct or not. It turns out that from her angle it's wrong and his it's right! And he explains that it's all in perspective, yada yada. No. The problem is either right or wrong. Don't go using tricks to try and make a point about perspective, etc.

Also, I forgot to mention before what a cheap, stock atheist Kirsch is. Way to make us all seem arrogant and kind of awful. Thanks, Dan Brown.
