I was kindly enough to receive an excerpt from Dan brown’s latest book ‘Origin’. Sadly I can’t post it here but written below is a snippet to quench your curiosity.
I have alway been a huge fan of Dan Brown’s books and after having read what I read… I can’t wait to read the rest of the book!!
Compelling from the word go, exactly like his other work. Beautifully written, in which it differs from some of it.
Dan Brown cannot fail! Although only a taster with the prologue and first chapter, it's more than enough to realise the author has lost none of his game. Wonderful read I can't wait to read the full fat version! Superb.
I was lucky enough to read chapter one. I'm hooked! So ready for the book to come out next week!!!
The excerpt of Origin has piqued my interest enough that I will most likely buy the book when it comes out. I've enjoyed Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series (well, with the exception of the one in Washington D.C.) for the most part because of the suspense , adventure, and travel aspects. Origin's first few pages set the stage for another exciting romp through western Europe.
Eagerly await the full novel. The first chapter promises another great adventure in Robert Langdon’s career. Tuesday October 3rd cannot come soon enough!

I must say that my interest is piqued for the rest of the story to come next week. From what I read, the story fits in perfectly with the other four Robert Langdon novels, so if you love, or even like them, you will probably feel the same from installment number five. I am certainly excited to continue reading this book. The excerpt gets five stars, and I hope the rest of the book does as well.
Robert Langdon is back again and it seems from this excerpt that this book with surpass all the previous titles. Puzzles? Check. Controversial topics? Check. Secret societies? Check. Super intelligent sidekick? Check. (if the prologue has any weight- Kirsch is shaping up to be a great character!) cannot wait for the full release of this novel!
This excerpt started with a bang, and I can't wait to read Origin! The premise has been set while still leaving the reader without all of the information which adds to the mystery and suspense.
“Historically, the most dangerous men on earth were men of God…especially when their Gods became threatened.” - Prologue
Oh boy! This going to be good. Only read the excerpt and I’m already hyperventilating and Googling The Guggenheim Museum, while mentally adding it to my bucket list! Love it or hate it but you’ll always end up feeling smarter after reading his books.
I can't wait for the book to come out! Robert Langdon as always is charming even in this tiny little excerpt and I can't wait to see where the story leads.
Dan Brown just knows how to hook you in! I read the preview and I absolutely can't wait to read the whole book. I'm a fan of his previous ones and I am just ready to be wowed again!
I am grateful to Netgalley and Doubleday Books who have just provided me with a sneak peak at Dan Brown’s new thriller Origins which will be published worldwide by Doubleday on Oct 3. The English version that is. All my German readers can purchase a German translation published by Bastei Lübbe from Oct. 4.So what can I say about Brown’s new work? Two words: simply genius.
Dan Brown delivers yet another page-turner by giving his readers a Robert Langdon story that may be predictable in pattern, agreed, but is so suspenseful and skillfully crafted in the beginning that you will find it extraordinarily hard to put down. He gives you mystery and suspense in appealing settings from page one, adds an intriguing mix of topics such as art, religion and science, while establishing a villain (former Langdon student-turned-scientist-wunderkind-futurist) set to not only shake the world’s pillars, but to shatter them.
From what I have read today, Origins has got everything a book needs in order to be a bestseller, and maybe a bit more. So I can absolutely see this Langdon story surpass all his other novels in terms of success. If he keeps the suspense up throughout the book, and keeps luring the reader into the story in his well-known manner, then yes, I won’t hesitate to say that this will be Dan Brown’s biggest hit so far!
Honestly, I can hardly wait to see how the story unfolds. And I’ll bet that if you have not been enjoying Dan Brown’s writing so far, he will definitely succeed in mesmerizing you with this one!
I must admit that I've long been a fan of Dan Brown, especially Angels and Demons as well as the rest of the Robert Langdon series. I've heard good things about this book and when I got a chance to read the first two chapters, I jumped at it. There's not a ton to go on, however it did at it up nicely for me to want to read the book even more than I already did. Dan Brown has always been known for just jumping right into the action with his novels and, from what I read, this one is no exception. I can't wait for October to begin so o can read the rest!
This was only an excerpt, but for a Dan Brown thriller, that's all I need to know whether I will want to read the whole book or not. I have enjoyed most of Dan Brown's books, but there are a couple that simply did not grab my imagination and I ended up abandoning them. And I knew they were not for me within the first few chapters. Now I can say with near certainty that I will enjoy Origin - the excerpt was Dan Brown at his best and I cannot wait to read the rest!
After reading only the prologue and first chapter, I'm already hooked and slightly smitten by Brown's newest villain Edmond Kirsch. I'm literally counting down the days for the newest installment of the Robert Langdon series.
Reading the first chapter makes me want to finish the book right now! I love all of Dan Brown"s books. You can tell that the rest of the book is going to be great. October 3 cannot come fast enough.
I was lucky to be able to read an excerpt of Origin, and it has made me SO excited to buy and read the entire book! I've missed Robert Langdon and his code and mystery cracking and I'll be pre-ordering this book today! I can't wait to write a full review.
I loved the excerpt even though it left me in a cliff-hanger and now I have to wait until October to read the rest of the book. I find the subject of this book very complex and intriguing (everyone has questions and theories about our origin, about the genesis) and Edmond Kirsch seems like a great character. I'm very interested in what is his discovery and what are his plans, how Robert Langdon comes into the picture besides being his teacher and so on.
