 sorry, but this is not a good book in any way at all November 23, 2009

i loved da vinci code, but this is an attempt to rekindle that fire, and what it ends up with is a bunch of smoke and mirrors. once that part clears up you're at the end of the book, praying for some sense of recovery, but noooooo. it ends just as bad. i'm a very positive person, and usually find the good in most things. there's very little of that here.
 The Lost Symbol is a great read. November 23, 2009

Wow. Dan Brown just keeps getting better. There were a couple of times I was absolutely shocked with what he had written. I couldn't imagine where he would go next, but he pulled it off brilliantly.
What I especially liked about this book was the fact it was based in D.C. So when I visit there I can actually go see some of the artwork and statuary he was refereing to. Although the Da Vinci code was great, I don't expect to ever get to those landmarks in France that he talked about.
The background on the Mason's was fascinating too. Don't know how accurate his explanations are, but I'll bet the basics are pretty close, although I imagine the biggest secrets are not quite as he explained it.
Great read though. I sure enjoyed it.

The book started off and read through as what I expected from Brown's two most recent novels, but the ending... such a cop out. I wouldn't recommend it as it was not worth the effort when all is said and done. Brown rode on the coat tails of his earlier work. I felt tricked and played.
Same old routine November 22, 2009

I wanted to like this book. Really, I did. But I found it boring, formulaic and the writing style was very annoying. And I had it figured out about mid-way through; so much for suspense. How many lone lunatics are there running around in Mr. Brown's world anyway? And another peeve: after the first 20 pages or so we know who the characters are. He doesn't have to keep giving their full names every time he mentions them: Robert Langdon said this, Peter Solomon did that. There's only one Robert, one Peter, one Katherine. We should be on a first name basis by the end of the book. Even if they don't have much personality. Just an example of an irritating style.
 A thesis on the 33rd November 22, 2009

Mr. Brown has created a real page turner. Although the Lost Symbol stretches plausibility in some cases, the basic story line is very good. It really commands the reader's attention. Although I'm not a 33rd degree Mason, he seems to make fun of the Masonic rituals for the 33rd degree. The casual reader would enjoy this book and also be motivated to visit the buildings in Washington DC both Masonic related and others.
