The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown is an action-packed thriller based in Washington DC.

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!

nothing new   Review Date: September 3, 2010 Reviewer: S. Sanchez, Los Angeles if you read da vinci and/or angels / demons than you should expect much of the same. dan brown seems to be a staunch environmentalist based on the amount of recycling he does in his story. i have decided to let the next d.b. book pass me by. A waste of Time   Review Date: September 2, 2010 Reviewer: , Long. That is one word to describe this book. I don't know how such a useless novel could take so many pages to write. As the book kept droning on and on and on I found myself not caring about Robert, Peter, the Masons, or the super messed up roid freak who was the enemy. I only cared about the poor trees that were killed to make this atrocious book. awful   Review Date: September 2, 2010 Reviewer: anonymous, Bad. If you like books that hide information to keep you reading, mislead the reader so they can surprise you later with the truth, and claim to offer revelations that amount to shallow aphorisms, then this is the book for you. Hey, we're all God. Now you know the central message of the book. not as good as previous work; same exact style though   Review Date: September 1, 2010 Reviewer: K. Kuntzelman, Mount Joy, PA this book is interesting in its information about masons, but other than that it is annoying in that you could predict what is going to happen based on the format being the exact same thing as Brown's other books. Langdon seemed to be more annoying than in previous adventures in that despite what he had been through in france and italy, was so surprised by everything that happened to him in this experience. Too unrealistic that it was frustrating. Good tension, conflict, formulaic   Review Date: August 31, 2010 Reviewer: SAG1999, CO United States Brown is great at writing the scenes and keeping up the tension. The overall content could be organized better -the idea of Noetic science and collective consciousness gets mentioned everywhere, seemed repetitive at places. However, I am glad he is telling the mass about it. We do need to move that way. The story is gripping, but it's the same old monstrous, grotesque antagonist chasing and butchering Langdon and company. At the end I still don't know what the "lost symbol" was? Is "symbol" exchangeable with the "word?"
