Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have to take my hat off to Dan Brown. He’s found a very exciting and controversial once again and moulded it in to a fast paced thriller that kept me on edge and racing through the pages. I was dying to know that reveal! Aah and the twists and turns to get there! It’s bound to be a film – I hope so as the cities it’s set in are some of the most stunning in the world and the history of Barcelona and Gaudi for one is something which really interests me. The book hits the ground running from page one and never lets up. Short snappy chapters make for easy reading but they’re just places to breathe for the most ardent DB fans. There’s so much detail and science stuff in here but don’t worry it’s all accessible and things you’ve heard of before ( and some that just might be true and what an interesting world THAT would be!) It seems so relevant and up to date too – Iphone hacking, “Siri on steroids”, Artificial intelligence, Uber taxis, where we came from, where we are going, what religion teaches us, why we believe in what we believe in…struggles of those who believe in the old world order,those who seem fixated on advances and technology …..scary when you think about it. This era of phones, social media, the ability to trace, contact people….all woven into one very tightly drawn plot. The book works on every level for me. The level of research and detail in the writing,whatever you believe, is impressive.And it’s that “Could that really happen, did that really happen” that will get everyone talking again. As a book lover, I can happily say that books are the KEY to knowledge and clues in the plot and we get to see several old libraries in this book. I did linger over those chapters and immediately need to go to Barcelona. Books, poems which hide secret meanings. Excited shivers all round! It’s hard to say too much about this book unless you want to give spoilers and I read it without any outside influence. In a dark room, with no windows, but a bright light and some headphones with a voice in my ear….Ok so not really, but this would be something else on audio book! Favourite character by far? Winston….What am I going to do now I’ve read this book? Read a certain book of poetry..go to Barcelona, and look more closely at certain places.. Highly Recommended. A trail around Spain’s history, art and churches is not to be missed!Where have we come from and where are we going?
