#origin book

Cattember is coming up so I wanted to share my drawings from the past few years of doing this art challenge! Here is my 2022 calendar!

My 2023 prompt list

This book is the second in a sort of series that isn’t really a series. I really enjoy the last book, Kalahari, and the first book, Origin (you can check out my review for that book). In this book, Sophie get a cryptic email from her mother, a scientist on an island in Guam, that tells her she needs to come to the island. I really had high hopes for this book but sadly it fell flat. This is my least favorite in the series, but it’s not bad. It largely deals with the question when does science go too far.

This book was... well let’s say I have really mixed feeling about it. It was simultaneously super predictable and completely unpredictable. There were sections that I loved, while other sections seemed to drag on. But I do think I really did enjoy it. This book kind of started out slow but picked up their pace pretty quickly. It combines romance and science, along with sparking some pretty intense moral conflict. Overall it was a pretty good read. .

Author : Dan Brown

Genre : Fiction, Thriller, Mystery

Rating : 3.5/5

This book is the fifth installation in Robert Langdon series. You don’t have to read the previous books to read this as each book in the series is a standalone.

“Where do we come from? Where are we going?”, most of us would have thought these questions at least once in our lives. This book revolves the discovery made by a futurist who tried to answer these questions.

The prologue leaves the reader wondering, what did Edmond Kirsch discover that will be change the face of science and challenge the faith in God. Dan Brown manages to maintain the suspense about the discovery throughout the book.

This book is different from its predecessors in many ways. In this we see a lot of modern / contemporary art instead of ancient art. We hardly come across ancient symbols in this book instead we see poetry of various philosophers about their futuristic ideas. We see AI playing an important role in this book , Dan Brown refers this AI as “Siri on steroids”.

The author try to keeps the reader hooked into the story through plot twists in affairs of royal place, but they failed to make the book a page-turner. The characters of royal place failed to required interest especially the prince.

The discovery and ending were my favourite in the book. The ending is unlike anything we have seen in the previous Dan Brown books. I liked sense of humour of the AI in the book however it felt the author was trying to imitate the JARVIS.

If you liked previous Robert Langdon books then it is a must read for you.The book doesn’t disappoint you totally ( may be a little if you except a Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons kind ). This book is worth reading.
