Well, science and religion are not competitors, they’re two different languages trying to tell the same story. There’s room in this world for both.

Well, that was a ride.
Origin is the fifth novel in Robert Langdon series, that follows our main character, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, Robert Langdon, in another mystery - this time, revolving the battle between science and religion. Origin, just like all of Robert Langdon novels, follows a similar pattern, but, at least to me, this novel stood out - because of the technology aspect to the story, which has not been done before. However, the novel reminded me a lot of Angels and Demons (which is my favorite novel by Dan Brown and also one of my favorite novels of all time).
I know that Dan Brown gets a lot of bad reputation for his novels, but no matter what, he will always be one of my favorite authors. The thing I love the most in his novels is that his descriptions are so vivid - it's almost like you're there, with Langdon. Even though these descriptions can sometimes slow down the story, I still think that they are the thing that sets apart Dan Brown from other authors. Next, I enjoy his comments on the battle between religion and science - his objectivity, to be exact. He doesn't stand on any side - he just objectively states the positive and negative sides of both religion and science.
To conclude, after Angels and Demons, this would definitely be my favorite book by Dan Brown. If you're a fan of his, and have enjoyed his past work, definitely pick this novel up - you wont regret it.

Boy, did I enjoy this book. I have yet to read The Last Olympian, but I'm pretty sure this one is best one in the series. Boy, did I enjoy this book. I have yet to read The Last Olympian, but I'm pretty sure this one is best one in the series. ...more
