Book review-Origin by Dan Brown

Dan Brown has a new book out featuring Robert Langdon!  Origin takes place in Spain this time and features some interesting architectural sites.  Robert is visiting the Guggenheim Museum in Balboa to see a presentation by a former student (Edward Kirsch) who claims to have discovered the answers to "Where did we come from" and "Where are we going."  Without giving too much away, something happens during the presentation which impels Robert and the beautiful, young museum director Ambra Vidal, to go on a hunt through Spain for answers. I enjoyed the book, it was fast paced and had challenging mental puzzles, but I found that Robert had less chances to deciper symbols than in previous books.  The characters were interesting, and the plot absorbing.  If you like fast paced adventures give it a read!
