The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I finished this book in just a couple of days -- it's a total page turner -- but I can't say I enjoyed it all that much. Dan Brown has figured out a nice little template for his novels. An evil character wants to use long-lost knowledge from a secret society (in this book, it's the Freemasons) to achieve world domination (or some other nasty goal) and Robert Langdon, the famous and brilliant symbologist, is the only one who can decipher the clues to save the day. Throw in an eccentric billionaire, an attractive female sidekick, and a plot twist near the end (someone is not who you think they are!) and there you have it, a NY Times bestseller. When I read The Da Vinci Code, I thought it was so clever. But after reading 3 versions of the same book, I think I might be finished with Dan Brown.
