3 out of 5 stars The Lost Symbol   November 20, 2009
A. Jezzi (???)
Not as good as Angel & Demons or The DaVinci Code-- Don't believe it lived up to all the hype. Obviously written for a movie screen play. Think Dan Brown is slipping.

In a move of foolishly being thrifty, I opted for one of the less expensive book sellers on Amazon to send me this best seller. The low price came with a long delivery time estimate. Finally, when the delivery date came, I contacted the company through Amazon and quickly got a refund. However, I have still not read the book! I think this experience may make me a candidate for a Kindle!!


5 out of 5 stars great story   November 20, 2009

This was a great book, totally unexpected ending. I think the most important part of this book was the message it presented at the end. A message that everyone needs to remember, most of all the people that run our government.


1 out of 5 stars Formula written   November 19, 2009

I didn't realize how shallow the concept or how overexposed I was to mysticism in a novel till I read this utterly far fetched and frankly dull book. Wooden characters who never develop populate this formula piece. The action is is as ridiculous as in Angels and Demons. Too many gimmicks, too little substance. Save your money and time.


1 out of 5 stars Really????   November 19, 2009

This is what everyone was waiting for?? This was the worst written "bestseller" I have ever attempted to read. Zero character development, horrendous conversational technique, one dimensional plot development. I can just see Mr. Brown dreaming of screenplay royalties dancing through his head as he wrote each "chapter". This could have been a mildly entertaining short story, but it turned into a dreadful full-length novel with the most disappointing (pointless?) ending imaginable. You would have expected something more after such a long period since The DaVinci Code, but apparently Mr. Brown rested on his laurels for several years, then woke up one morning and pounded out his next "book" (screenplay). Shame on his editor and publisher.
