Dan Brown's ORIGIN (FICTION) 2017
If there is anything that changed about my thoughts about the famous author through the years, I could honestly say I respect him more. He still does not influence my belief in God, because I cannot not believe in Him because there are many things that happened in my life that cannot be explained by science or whatever else. Yet, I could boldly say that he is a very believable writer. Believing everything he has written as "gospel" truth is different from saying he is a believable author. When a person is believable, what he or she is saying could be true, but you don't necessarily believe it to be so. He definitely is a raconteur extraordinaire . I can give him that. In ORIGIN he is trying to hypnotise his readers that he is an "enlightener" and because of his writing style, he might convince a lot of people that it is so. He used William Blake's ideologies, writings, artwork etc. By focusing on Blake, he has sort of deified the man....
