I noticed that many of the graphs had random points where the author has tried to make a regression line to suit his theory. This may be a coincidence or lack of data points provided in the book. On the whole this book could have been condensed to 65%-75% of the original easily....more

As the Robert Langdon's Saga is progressing it is becoming less and less intriguing. The lost symbol was satisfactory, whereas the Inferno was good because of its ending. Now the 5th installment was really a disappointment. The book is barely anything to offer to any of the different Dan Brown fans. If you want to read a suspense-thriller, then beware that there is barely anything. A couple of codes which are there only because its a Langdon series. Dan brown's prose has become so predictable, that any body familiar with his style, can guess immediately within 40 chapters, who the antagonist is. And lo and behold the antagonist is straight from all the futuristic stuff out there (wink ...wink... Jarvis.....I-Robot.....Terminator...). A king and a prince also share the screen just to add drama without moving the plot anywhere. Overall this book was a waste of time and money for me. First time readers may still get some thing from it. But again unlike Winston, I am a human who cannot have same enthusiasm for repeated iterations. :D
