cooperca's review against another edition

4.0

I was flying back from vacation and needed a book to get me through the long flight. Dan Brown never disappoints.

Although one can figure out the "secret" fairly early on in the novel, it's still a fun book to read. Reading how Robert Langdon finds himself in these situations and his subsequent various narrow escapes made the plane ride go by quickly. It's a classic Dan Brown mystery and had me looking up paintings referred to and picking apart the FedEx logo to find the forward moving arrow. Langdon's quest to find out who killed his friend was fast paced and entertaining.

Enjoyed and will pick up another Dan Brown novel for my next trip.

I have read all of Dan Brown's books and this is my absolute favorite. He continues the themes of religion vs science and it does not disappoint. This novel is tense and left me asking a lot of questions. Especially now that I keep seeing articles in my feed about how humans will reach singularity within 21 years. I hope this one gets turned into a movie. I am also looking forward to the next book.
