Origin by Dan Brown

I read this Feb/March 2019
I bought it in a charity shop for 75p and read it because Dick Babcock had recommended it...

As with all the Dan Brown books I've this could have been half the length...456 pages of mansplaining every little thing, plus it seems like every single piece of research, relevant or not has tp go into his books.

The precis of the plot.... AI to take over the world, Pure physics made the universe, religion is a load of made up stories.....nothing we haven't heard before, nothing we won't hear again..

 Having Tom Hanks play the lead character, Robert Langdon, in the franchise, really doesn't resonate with the 'James Bond/ Indiana Jones' style  of these books....

It was ok, but so long and drawn out......
