I read the first two back-to-back which kinda burned me out, i think. I took a big break and am now starting the third one, however, I think it's just the author and how he writes this character. The trope already tells familiar and overplayed and I'm only 6 chapters in. I have Origin in the tbr as well, but it appears I'm missing Inferno.... I know his newest just came out-- unsure if I will bother
pickQualified recommendation. I liked the story, however it is very long. And it felt to me as if Dan Brown has a formula he follows when crafting a story. This character, check; this plot point, check; Langdon has trouble with the authorities, check; etc. So while the story was interesting, and the science was different, I felt as if I were reading the same story over again.
Trying out the tv series. #booktoscreen

This did not need to be so got dang long.
pickI love Dan Brown books and this one did not disappoint. We all now need to go to Prague! History, epilepsy, mystery, science/technology, CIA, remote viewing and consciousness! Look up everywhere and everything as you go through this read. Langdon is back!
so-soBoring. 😴 I almost DNF several times. This is a stroll through Renaissance art in Florence, Venice and the mixture of art and culture in Istanbul. All disguised as a rather slow chase of Robert Langdon by unknown pursuers. Brown even takes time to mention two ugly sculptures in the Boboli Gardens through which a lengthy portion of the chase ran. I love art and art history but yeah...Plus, a great deal about Dante and his Divine Comedy.

Found a good reading spot outside the gym where my 11 year old is participating in a basketball clinic with our high school team. It‘s a gorgeous evening in middle Tennessee!
pickI love a Robert Langdon story. Eight years for this one was a long time, but the research must have been pretty heavy. I know a lot of people complained about it. It's pretty science heavy. But I love how Brown gives me just enough answers at just the right time. I have to think, but not too hard. The pieces fall into place perfectly.
