A Little Disappointed... September 28, 2009
Steven Mitchell (Morgantown, WV USA)

I read "Angels and Demons" and "The Da Vinci Code" early this year and couldn't wait to read "The Lost Symbol". The first two books in the Robert Langdon series were brilliant. "The Da Vinci Code" was a masterpiece.
However, when I finally got my hands on a copy of "The Lost Symbol", I was a little disappointed. It was a huge step down from "The Da Vinci Code". There weren't a lot of exciting, thrilling parts in the book. It seems as if Dan Brown was, more or less, "playing it safe" with this novel.
All in all, it's a good read. Not great, but good. I try not to be too disappointed, because it would have been hard for anyone to write a sequal to "The Da Vinci Code" and it be as good or better.
 It Should be Called Lost Time September 28, 2009

This was nothing more than a verbose "chase" book. They run around DC looking for a mystery. The killer is super rich, very strong, and exceedingly smart. There were no surprises, I want all the time I spent reading this drivel back.
 Nothing Lost, Everything Gained with Lost Symbol September 28, 2009

Like millions of Americans, I loved the DaVinci Code. I read that sucker in 3 days! And, like millions of Americans, I was less than thrilled with Dan Brown's other titles. So, it was with sincere trepidation that I ordered The Lost Symbol.
In a word, The Lost Symbol is FABULOUS. I sped read it in 3 days and had to make myself put it down to get some sleep.
I highly recommend this book to DaVinci Code fans - it will thrill you to the core.
So-So Book September 28, 2009

I agree with several of the people who recently reviewed this book. Dan Brown is not one of my favorite authors, but I gave this book a try. I don't know how anyone else felt about the last part of the book, but I thought I was back in my undergraduate days at the university. Too much talk, too much philosophy for me. The climax came and yet the book when on endlessly about the "mysteries." Glad I didn't actually buy this book. My husband is plugging away at it. Bet he doesn't finish.
facts not in evidence September 28, 2009

I am about half-way through the unabridged audio version. The story is OK, but Mr. Brown needs to research some of his more mundane facts as well as he does his arcane facts. Bunsen burner fuel is not a liquid. The CIA has no arrest authority, and there has never been a Cracker Jack decoder ring, in fact there have only been about 3 decoder rings ever. There are lots of decoders, but being children's toys, they use simple substitution codes and the size of the dials makes a ring quite large. There was a Chex one, a Cap't Crunch one I think, and an Ovaltine one (it's huge).
