A review by sathyadgs95
Origin by Dan Brown

4.0

Deep, Dark, Complicated, Mysterious. Well, its usual Dan Brown formula, Religion, Science and Origin of Life. When Da Vinci code came out, it was met with outrage. But I find that well crafted plot of science and religion battle, a secret that if it came to light, the very foundation of all religions would be shaken until the tree was emptied of all its fruit. The search for "Holy Grail" made them to travel places and follow the clues to decipher. Origin follows almost same formula using the same premise but involving a modern technology instead of an ancient cryptex. Even though its 5th book in the series, it's standalone story doesn't require to read the predecessors.
