The Best Dan Brown

What did you like about this audiobook?

I really enjoyed this story. I have enjoyed all of Dan Brown's work, but I believe it to be the best Dan Brown novel.

Best of the Bunch

I am a big fan of Dan Brown's books. I think this one is the best of the bunch so far. The action begins immediately and never stops. I hated that I kept reaching my driving destinations so quickly, so I had to start listening at home which I never do. LOL.

strong start weak finish

i thought it started out strong then took a turn for the worst. it was like Dan could figureout where to go and just gave up. a little disappointing.

Great read!

Another great story featuring Robert Langdon. Dan Brown masterfully weaves a story of art, history and intrigue.

Worth a listen of you are a Brown fan.

This is enjoyable- if.you are familiar with Brown's Langdon and storytelling arc's. Not quite as good as The Lost Symbol- but a good companion for a long car ride.

Better than Angels and Demons

Dan Brown writes some really trite sentences, so if you don't mind that, go ahead and listen. Actually, listen to Paul Michael is better than reading. Of course, a person reads Dan Brown for the historical oddities and tidbits. At least I do, and there is enough in here to keep one's interest. I like to that the repercussions of this so-called terrorist attack or not completely ignored or undone at the end of the novel. If you've read it, you'll know what I mean. Dan Brown sticks to his guns there.

So this book is kind of fun if you keep your expectations restrained.

He’s done it again

I love Dan Brown’s series with Robert Langdon, he is a fantastic character that has yet to be boring. I love the new introduction of Sienna Brooks, her character is exciting yet relatable. This is the most far-fetched story so far, but I suppose Brown has to keep pushing the limit on that sense. This story delves into genetics and biology, Brown does an excellent job of explaining everything so you don’t feel like it’s over your head.
