A review by lennofspades
The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

3.0

In Dan Brown's third installment to the Robert Langdon series, we deal with issues that concern Freemasonry, Noetic Sciences, and ancient mysticism.

Here we follow Robert Langdon as he heads to Washington, D.C. to meet with an old friend and speak for an event that this particular friend organized. Of course, as he lands in D.C., everything went haywire.

As most of Dan Brown's novels, this chunk of a book is honestly impossible to put down as it has the power to immerse you deeply in the story. I always find myself at the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next. Though it took me way longer to finish this book compared to Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code, I was still as engrossed with the story.

What I like most about Dan Brown's works is that I'm not only entertained, but I also learn a few things. Some of the things he mentions in his books are real, if you just do your research. So I totally understand the mixed reviews given that Dan Brown creates a fusion of facts and fiction in his works.

To be honest, this is my least favorite of all of his books. I'm not sure if it's just me, but some parts of this were a bit dragging compared to his previous novels which makes this the first Dan Brown book that I rated lower than 4 stars. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed reading this.
