Fantastic narrator

I could listen to the narrator Paul Michael all day. He is a fantastic actor and made the story even more interesting.

A slog toward the end

I’m finding it more and more difficult to get through Mr Brown’s last chapters and often find myself playing the book at 1.5 to 2 times the speed to get through mundane conversations that add little if anything to the story.

**POSSIBLE SPOILER**

Additionally, the entirety of Edmond Kirsch revelation need not have been. It was a TED Talk I, and likely other readers, didn’t sign up for. I believe Mr. Brown is a talented enough storyteller to have come up with another way of summarizing Kirsch’s theory.

I’m saddened that Mr. Brown’s last two Langdon books have not provided me the intriguing entertainment that his Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons provided and helped me and others in my unit, cope in Iraq.


That said, he is vastly more talented that some unpublished rando critiquing his work on an iPhone so I wish him the best and hope he finds continued success.

B-origin-g

The positive - the narrator did a nice job but the book was annoying long with insignificant details that made the reader lose interest towards the end. Not planning on reading anymore Dan Brown books. There are numerous new authors putting out better and more entertaining books.

Origins

A classic Dan Brown story with familiar characters that make you feel welcome and beckon you to pull up a soft chair, prop up your feet next to a fireplace to warm the cold chill of fall and enjoy a good story. But one that leaves you thinking deeply about life.

Intriguing

Didn’t that hold up to Mr. Brown’s other books in the series. Often quite boring
