Review summary

3.90 / 5 (377892 total reviews)

Dan Brown's 'Origin' received decidedly mixed reviews from readers. The fifth Robert Langdon novel explores the clash between science and religion through questions about human origins and future destiny. While many readers appreciated the fast-paced thriller format, exotic Spanish settings, and thought-provoking themes about artificial intelligence and evolution, others criticized the book for relying too heavily on formulaic plotting, weak character development, and an underwhelming central revelation. The book sparked considerable debate about its handling of scientific and religious concepts, with some readers praising its intellectual ambition and others viewing it as superficial or ideologically driven.

Readers say this book is:
fast-paced entertaining thought-provoking formulaic underwhelming engaging intellectually stimulating predictable derivative page-turner

From the publisher

THE #1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER FROM THE ICONIC AUTHOR OF THE DA VINCI CODE AND THE NEW ROBERT LANGDON THRILLER, THE SECRET OF SECRETS

"Fans of The Da Vinci Code rejoice! Professor Robert Langdon is again solving the mysteries of the universe." --People

"A life-or-death adventure." --Entertainment Weekly

Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of a discovery that "will change the face of science forever." The evening's host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist, and one of Langdon's first students.

But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch's precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Facing an imminent threat, Langdon is forced to flee. With him is Ambra Vidal, the elegant museum director who worked with Kirsch. They travel to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch's secret.

Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme re­ligion, Langdon and Vidal must evade an enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain's Royal Palace. They uncover clues that ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch's shocking discovery . . . and the breathtaking truth that has long eluded us.
