Not as good as the da Vinci code…..I get the feeling this author had a traumatic experience with the Catholic Church…

Still good! Lots of twists and turns,
romance remains unnecessary (especially since she is ditched by book 2 lmao)


Also….we get it, he wears Harris Tweed

i read the arabic translation of the da vinci code as a teenager and i thought it the coolest thing ever. so here i'm trying to read the series as an adult in its original language of writing; and God? this was so fun as a story, however i would've never expected Dan Brown's writing to be this mid!!! i was literally blown away by some expressions from how silly they sound lol but all in all this was enjoyable and i'll continue reading the rest of the series

as a physics student, all this talk about particle accelerators, antimatter and the big bang was extremely exciting and interesting for me. learning about the illuminati was amazing, i loved the scavenger hunt with all those riddles extremly. i couldnt put this book down because it kept being exciting and intense. especially the ending was wild, but a bit predictable. i started watching the movie but it's nothing like the book. the book is definitely 100 times better and way more exciting.
i'm excited to read more of dan brown :)
