This book is an emotional roller coaster ride. I liked that it made me laugh in the end too! I hugged this book tight and close to me for a while because I knew Aristotle and Dante live inside this book. They are there. They are safe there. A lot of Aristotle is in me too along with some part of Dante. But that isn't safe as the book. I can preserve them in the book. I can cherish and be happy about this sincere love story. But can I preserve myself? Change can be hard. Ari was able to change. And what a remarkable character development it was! I am trying too. Thank you for this book. It did help me grow and will continue to do so. A few lines and moments from the book pop up at times and help me relax and control myself in the moment.

I like the gory details that Dan Brown puts into his works. Now that it is being made into a series (not a movie), I expect to see the same thrill that runs down in the book to be presented on the screen. However, besides creating a close-to-be-true fiction out of real buildings, artifacts, locations, communities, etc., the charm of Brown is fading away for me. After reading Angels and Demons, and Origin, I can now predict that a particular thing would not be revealed in this or that chapter. And I know that when the next chapter will shift to an entirely different person. Even the ending plots are similar. I am in an in-between state where I like the vivid imagery conveyed by the sentences glorified with numerous feelings and adjectives, but at the same time I am frustrated to read those lines conveying repetitive events. Overall, if I had read this book without knowing some of the works of Dan, it would certainly have blown me away. Yet, I can assure that it is not a bad read either.
