Origin by Dan BrownMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Where do we (humans) come from? Where are we going? Futurist Edmond Kirsch is at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain and is about to announce breakthrough scientific discoveries when he is brutally shot to death by an assailant in an old fashioned military uniform. Edmond’s friends Professor Robert Langdon (Da Vinci Code) and Ambra Vidal (fiancée to the king) have to out think security forces, unhappy religious officials, and other opponents in order to find the cryptic password that will release Edmond's discoveries to the world. Book 5 in the Robert Langdon series. OPINION: Heavy doses of art appreciation, European history, philosophy, comparative religion, architecture, and symbology might weigh the plot down, but Dan Brown successfully continues his signature writing style, with a mini cliffhanger at the end of each chapter. A good read, but not quite as action packed as the first two books in the series.
