My Book Review Rating: 5 Stars – Dan Brown doesn’t disappoint as Robert Langdon returns to solve another mystery

As a fan of both The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons I had high hopes for The Lost Symbol – and I wasn’t disappointed! Once again I was captured right at the first page, and devoured all 500+ pages in just a few days. Forget television and chores, this is the kind of book that you just want to keep on reading – with anticipation at every page turn.

Robert Langdon makes a return in this third novel, this time racing against time to save one of his oldest friends while solving a treasure trail of ancient Masonic clues scattered around Washington DC. A recent visit to said beautiful city increased my interest in the story as I could picture each of the landmarks visited on the trail – and I discovered a few that I had overlooked making me want to go back some day!

It really is edge of your seat drama – with scientific breakthroughs, secrets that have been kept for centuries, explosions, severed limbs and death – believe me, once you pick it up you won’t want to put it down.

I can’t wait to see this on the big screen at the cinema – but I do have a message for the producer – the ending of this novel is just fine as it is – as were the endings to the previous two – so please don’t feel you have to mess with it…

If you’re a Dan Brown fan they you should pick up a copy as soon as you can, and if you’ve never read a Brown novel then this is one heck of a place to start!
