An absolute dud of a book. There are 2 things that were to be revealed. Both of them, turn out to be a known thing, which is unbelievable, as the revelations in a Dan Brown books are not that. Book fails as thriller and the only new thing that book reveals is about Modern Art in Spain (but that might be already known to Spanish people :( ). In short, worst Dan Brown book, that has advertisement (for God's sake) and failed Hollywood script (which he likes to aim for these days), as there is nothing interesting going on.

Another robert langdon story circling around art, artificial intelligence and religion. I personally found the book to be predictable to some extent and it failed to raise my heart beats as often as it's predecessors, i.e, The da vinci code and the lost symbol did. The story line is slow, not much riddles to be solved and except Winston's abilities I found nothing much to keep me captivated reading this book. I might have rated it much higher had it been some another writer, but my expectations with dan brown are much more and hence I am kind of disappointed having read this book.

A very interesting read. I don't mean to blame the book but through reading this book I decided to remove God from the equation of life. And to my surprise and benefit, a fog seemed to lift from my mind. Everything suddenly made sense. I guess I had always been a believer of a non-existent God, and this book reminded me of that. Dan Brown is an exceptional writer and I love his works. I've read all of his well-known books and I can't seem to get enough of his writing. Definitely worth the buy if you're into science and religion.
