Benedick Lewis (3001 KP) rated Origin in Books
Jul 13, 2018
Then I didn’t touch Dan Brown again. Simply because I had other things to read and the premises weren’t that interesting - until Origin, which looked like it would be as shattering as the Da Vinci Code was. What I forgotten was I got older and more educated. Origin promises answers to two questions: where did we come from? Where are we going? These questions are repeated constantly and you start to get Rednex’s Cotton Eye Joe in your head. For about 100 pages the build up is admittedly incredible but at the same time you think you know what is going to happen because there are 300 plus pages left. I won’t spoil anything and I advise you not to read the blurb because that does 25% of the book for you. From then on, apparently it is a race against time but you never truly feel anything is at stake. When the answers do come, you feel like ‘oh, right’ as if someone told you a fact you didn’t know but not really going to remember. And, in summary, Origin is so badly written that you won’t remember it.
