Sintesi dell'editore
Brought to you by Penguin.
The global best seller - Origin is the latest Robert Langdon novel from the author of The Da Vinci Code.
Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of an astonishing scientific breakthrough. The evening’s host is billionaire Edmond Kirsch, a futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a controversial figure around the world.
But Langdon and several hundred guests are left reeling when the meticulously orchestrated evening is suddenly blown apart. There is a real danger that Kirsch’s precious discovery may be lost in the ensuing chaos. With his life under threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape Bilbao, taking with him the museum’s director, Ambra Vidal. Together they flee to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch’s secret.
To evade a devious enemy who is one step ahead of them at every turn, Langdon and Vidal must navigate the labyrinthine passageways of extreme religion and hidden history. On a trail marked only by enigmatic symbols and elusive modern art, Langdon and Vidal will come face to face with a breathtaking truth that has remained buried – until now.

Incredible!
Dan Brown mixes just the right amount of drama, mystery, futuristic idealogies, historical ambiguity with a spice of factual flavour for this book!
Loved the story and loved the performance!

Dan Brown tries too hard!!
Every book after Da Vinci code, Dan Brown has tried harder each time. But the problem is that unlike Da Vinci code where he took a conspiracy theory mainstream, in his last three books he has touched upon theories that are already in main stream discussion. So it does not sound good when a character shows naivety. It confounds even more that same character shows moments of brilliance at other times. And why should Langdon always have a female companion? Too convenient.

The story is just rather poor
And having too much repetition and "preaching" really doesn't help. Begins ok but the ending is quite spectacularly disappointing.

Terrible terrible book
Hope Dan brown stops writing this genre. Narrative flow, plot, history, mystery, characters are totally stale. And hold no interest.

Clever and highly interesting
Dan Brown on top form again featuring Spanish cities, particularly Barcelona. Thoroughly enjoyable, especially listening to it in Barcelona from roof top hotel pool with views of the Sagrada Familia.

Just Okay
Lots of build-up for a disappointing finish. Fantastic performance by Paul Michael doesn’t make up for it. It’s like a complex recipe that smells marvellous while it’s cooking - but has little flavour when it’s tasted.

Wow!
That was tedious. The slow pace of the author and the long winded drawn out story made for a slogfest. I gave up 7 hours in. Not sure if I’ll get back to it.

His worst book, so boring.
So dissapointing. Too much background, not enough action and story. Too much Spanish and really boring. I battled through to the end because I hoped it would improve. The discovery was also a let down. Dan Brown's books have been deteriorating since his first 2 and I won't read the next one.

Geat book great reader
I really enjoyed the story and the and reader had a smooth calming voice who also used accents to spice it up.
I also downloaded his other works in the hopes his performance is as good as this one was.
I highly reccomend this book.

Another Langdon adventure story
This book is worth reading because it has lots of ups and downs and intrigue. Brown's books are always unique, but this book is not as good as his others.

Deception Point 2
Inferno was an unusual book for Dan Brown, offering a sobering ending that I suspect few could honestly have guessed was coming. The post-Inferno world was one that I readily wanted to explore and in retrospect, I shouldn't have been surprised that Brown forgot all about it. Indeed, he makes little reference to anything save the DaVinci code while recycling his one and only plot.
Instead this has the feel of one of his also-ran books, with Langdon pasted on top of the generic hero, and a few references to his water polo and the Mickey Mouse watch, in a vain effort to give the book its own identity.
Such as the plot is, there's the terrifying secret that the world is not ready for; the unique and ruthless assassin; the exceptionally intelligent-yet-principled villain; the constant misdirection; and the pretty-yet-extremely intelligent woman. The setting is Barcelona. What makes Brown so much fun is the way in which all these old hoary elements are rearranged and of course, the trivia. Brown educates as he entertains and however feeble his prose, his selection of trivia is excellent. Much like the diet drink that accompanies fast food, it's the excuse to indulge in the finest and most satisfying junk.
Sadly, even the trivia is second rate (the FedEx logo being the example) and the experience is akin to opening a box of KFC to find only bones. Brown's leaps of logic are staggering, his revelations non-existent and his twist telegraphed so early it may as well be drawn on the book jacket. This effort is clearly one of the non-Langdon efforts taken out and given a little rewrite and should be treated as such. Brown took a brief, wondrous step with Inferno and has run right back into the depth of his comfort zone. Treat this book as a ghostwritten spin-off and buy when it comes up on the Daily Deal.

Disappointing
I found this story boring and predictable. It follows the same blueprint as Dan Brown's earlier work as though he has no new ideas. A large venue, a murder then escape not forgetting the pretty girl. Even the fairly good narration couldn't save it and the so-called twist at the end was no surprise. Don't bother wasting a credit on this.

What a shame
As a fan of Dan Brown since digital fortress, and someone who has been waiting patiently for this book I’m rather disappointed. I found the whole thing rather mediocre and able to predict the “reveal” far too early in the story. Probably the weakest book so far. What a shame.

Great researcher, terrible writer
Firstly, the positive. The research he has done is clearly excellent and gives a great backdrop for the story. The narrator is good, although not great.
Secondly, the adequate. The story itself isn’t too bad, a couple of decent twists. Nothing to get excited over though.
Finally, the negative. Dan Brown writes like a pre-teen with moderate use of a thesaurus. His writing “style” for lack of a better word is horrendous and is something I will ensure I never inflict upon myself again.
Avoid.

Mildly enjoyable.....
Overall, I didn't think this lived up to previous Langdon adventures. Storyline a little weak, with the listener left believing it could have been so much better. Generally I'd recommend Dan Browns books, but the likes of Steve Berry are much more consistent in this genre, imo.

Worst Dan Brown ever!
The story was poor and felt more like I was being read paragraphs from a text book or Wikipedia. This had none of the excitement I usually associate with Dan Brown. Maybe the film will be better. Very disappointed that I wasted 18 hours of my life on this book!

No real story. Just an idea stretched out.
Spent the whole book expecting the standard Dan Brown twists and turns but got to the end without anything really happening. I've been to college lectures with more action.

Most predictable Dan Brown yet
I enjoy Dan Brown's writing and find the puzzle elements fun but this one seemed to miss the mark the final reveal being obvious from the start. The story fitted together well but the main theme seemed unrealistically hyped even if the technical aspects were possible.
