But because you got caught up with the thrill of the chase, there wasn't much emotion in the story. It's nothing, seeing as this is a thriller so my fault really doesn't mean much. Check to them all! So, some people might read Lost Symbol and go “I've read this before.” He stuck to his checklist – smart hero, a smart female assistant with a personal involvement with the mystery, a secret that will shock the world, a baddie, a high-organization that chases our two heroes down. The Prologue got my attention with the idea of a secret society and a soon-to-happen betrayal, but after that, it took almost twenty chapters before things seemed to go up a gear.Īnother flaw (if you can call this a flaw) is that Dan Brown sticks to what works for him. Well, one of the flaws I found with Lost Symbol that, for a thriller novel, it took a long time before the story finally started to get started. Also, once you get into the story, it's a fast and enjoyable read.Īh, you noticed that I said “once you get into the story”. And because of the idea that this story takes over a 12 hour timespan, these short chapters work very well. The chapters are short so it feels like your reading more of the book than you actually are. Let's start with the good points of this book and then the negavite. (I have watched the films but, like most film adaptation of books, there never truly live up to how good the book was.) Apart from “The Lost Symbol”, the only other Dan Brown novel I have read is “ Angels and Demons”. Now, before we go any further, I need to say something. Because of this find, Robert finds out that his old friend, Peter Solomon, has been brutally kidnapped, our hero finds himself getting involved in yet another mystery to save his friend's life.
After arriving at Capitol Building in Washington DC, Robert Langdon comes across a disturbing find. Without giving too much away, this is how “ The Lost Symbol” starts up. Took me a while but I have literally just finished and I'm writing this review about the book. And, getting a little curious about all the hype and all the intrigue behind it, I got myself a copy and started reading it. A few weeks ago, Dan Brown finally released his sequel to his bestseller “ The Da Vinci Code”, “ The Lost Symbol”.
