Okay, so I know Dan Brown isn't the best author, but boy do I get drawn in to his books. After studying Dante two years ago, I really enjoyed all the illusions to him as well as all the references.
As always, I found Mr. Brown's plot predictable. I enjoyed that he made it a little more taxing this time with the amnesia. That was really a game changer.
Let's talk about the premise of the book for a minute though. I found it really interesting that he was writing on the problem of over population. In the other books that I've read there may have been some thinly veiled social commentary, but Mr. Brown left this one out in the open and voiced some very strong opinions about World Health and how they are treating the problem.
*****SPOILERS*****
As always, I am impressed with the use of pseudo science in the book. Although we are probably capable of this at this point, it is still not something that we advertise in the science community. For those of you who know me well, you would know that I am a huge fan of the television series Fringe, so naturally having this airborne, DNA altering virus was stimulating, to say the least.
*****SPOILERS*****
I rate this book 6 out of 10. No matter how interesting and stimulating I found this book, the writing lacked something to be desired and the plot was a little too predictable. Fans of Dan Brown will not be disappointed, but those of you who dislike him aught to stay away.
