I have been a Dan Brown fan for quite a while…his books can keep you engrossed for hours and transport your imagination to places which will definitely make you want to take a trip there for real…this too will make you feel the same

Its a novel which one expects from Dan Brown. A book filled with interesting facts webbed into a fictional plot transgressing to its senseful epitome right at the end. But this one lacks the usual punch like we had in the initial novels. The heart and soul of the novel is the answers surrounding the two questions on origin and evolution and the book seems far too stretched and lacks the content. However still a good read!

While the topic of the book is commendable and exciting, the plot as well as the revelation in the end fell flat. Nothing earth shattering and exciting unlike his best sellers earlier. Perhaps dan is an example for peters principle. He has reached his level of inefficiency.

Not his best work. He set the expectation so high with his initial books. inferno and now this are certainly not his best works. Concept is wonderful but the story drags a bit. And the ending is a bit of an anti climax. But still a decent one time read.

the idea of entropy being supreme in the creation process seems well researched, though you could almost see the idea of “future of all powerful AI” standing at that bend …. loses the pace at some points though, and it’s a meandering jog till the story picks up again. If you are a Dan Brown fan, does not disappoint ! …. I have rated 4 as coming after Inferno, the author does a good job of holding reader’s attention and not let it slip in the labyrinth of architecture and history
