It’s been quite a while since I last read about Robert Langdon, so I was pretty excited for Dan Browns newest book to be released. This time I decided to get the audiobook, which was enjoyable, but there wasn’t anything specific or worth mentioning about the narration.
As usual the plot was quite interesting, faced-paced and action-packed, yet this time round it felt like a bit too much after a time. Unexpected twist after twist, it seemed like it would never stop, maybe I’m getting to old for this :D
What was also somewhat disappointing for me was the fact that Robert had very little opportunity to show off his knowledge about religion and symbology. It felt like we lost a lot made Robert Langdon so special with this book.
The great reveal at the end of the book was also somewhat less than expected. I was imagining some kind of earth shattering revelation, what with all the murders and drama facilitated to stop Edmund Kirsch. What was revealed was quite the story, but not as dramatic as expected.
In general I felt like Brown added a lot of things to this book that he didn’t follow through with, such as the relationship between Robert and Ambra and the little reveal towards the end about the Bishop and the King.
Yet I really enjoyed myself while listening to the book and I would recommend it anyone who asked, which is why I rated it 4 stars, even though my review might sound somewhat negative.
This review and many others, both german and english, can also be found on my blog.
