You might not think it possible, but Dan Brown was initially a failed musician and a failed writer. Hardly anyone wanted to buy his records and his books sat on the shelves like lead. But perseverance, hard work and creativity paid off and the result was called "The Da Vinci Code". Since then, Brown has been one of the most successful writers of our time and we can assume that "The Secret of Secrets" will also become another bestseller.Once again, the story centres on Harvard professor Robert Langdon and this time Brown has moved the action to Prague. Langdon is actually only accompanying a friend and she is giving a sensational lecture - the next morning, however, the romantic scientific excursion to the beautiful city turns into a nerve-wracking thriller. As is often the case with Brown, everything happens in the space of a single day. And because he follows clues, he once again gets to the bottom of an extensive conspiracy. Along the way, of course, you learn a lot about the Golden City and its history.Some things are a bit over the top for me. I can't really go into details without giving anything away. But here and there it could have been a little smaller. Nevertheless, it is a very exciting book and I enjoyed reading it from the first to the last page. It is also excellently written, even if the scientific background is sometimes not immediately understandable on first reading - and in my view not always scientifically tenable. But it is also an interesting thought experiment and definitely worth looking into.But again, it is a great book and I am quite sure it will be one of the most successful books of the year.(Sorry for my English, not a native speaker, German.)
