Had been thinking of reading it for sometime now. Ordered it from Flipkart.com and true to word they delivered on time :-).
Typical Dan Brown book with symbolism's and puzzles. The topic which he has taken does look ominous and very real. "Over population" is a real threat to human survival. Countries have taken steps to counter that by asking people to limit their off-spring count like China. Recently read a report that by 2028 India will overtake China as the most populous nation. Author argues that there is a limit to the population which can be handled by our earth given its resources. The moment we go over that, the human race will perish. It is a strong argument. Epidemics had been nature's way of controlling the numbers. Given the advancements in medical field we are now not seeing the kind of epidemics which were common around 20-30 years back. So how do we control the human population? Should we invent an epidemic which cannot be controlled? Or is there a better way?
The story revolves around this premise.
There are all the twists and turns and the puzzles and excitement we have come to expect from Dan Brown's Robert Langdon.
I loved reading it :-)
