DNF. Will not finish. Will pick up a book by an Indigenous author instead.

I’m more concerned about the controversy surrounding the author than how this book stacks up as literature. Borden not only speaks on the behalf of Indigenous peoples, but claims various Indigenous lineages which have not proven to be true. Boyden is selling books and profiting off of branding himself as Indigenous and that’s not okay.

If I were desperate for toilet paper and had a paper copy, I’d still burn it. It has gotten worse and I didn’t think that was possible.

Dan Brown didn’t even get the symbol for entropy right and his main character is a “symbologist.”

There are bodice rippers whose authors have done more research than Dan Brown and show more intellectual integrity than this book

I just read 20 chapters of pure build up. About ten chapters held the exact same content.

I literally just read the page where he says all science in this book is real

Reasonably well written and very descriptive, but for all the research Dan Brown claims to have done, the result is deplorable.

Chapter 61 and this is the third time they’ve reiterated that the director of WHO is constantly thinking about her inability to conceive children.

What makes Dan Brown’s books so great is that he writes well and describes scenes well. His plots are cookie cutter, as are his characters. Langdon obsesses over penises again and his Mickey Mouse watch is still missing.

So far, the same elements of all the Dan Brown Da Vinci Code books have appeared. Young clever woman’s close friend/relation is dead, young smart woman joins forces with Langdon, Langdon is still smarter than genius woman and mansplains to her. People try to kill them. Insert conjecture about how biology works.

The characters have all been suckered in by promises of a law degree from a school called Foggy Bottom. That sums it up. The characters have been pulled from a hat and their backstories too. The female character Zola is about as realistic as a paper doll and Grisham writes her as “tough” but she hangs on the arm of a guy with a fiancée.
