The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
3.0

I enjoyed it the same way I enjoy most Dan Brown novels, wanting to read just one more chapter and get just one more clue to figure out the whole puzzle, enjoying the way he works real-world objects and existing myths into his fiction. Too bad the characters in his books are so flat. Langdon is especially dense in this one.

Not much of a spoiler; early in the book you find out that a major thematic element is Noetic Science. I don't know about 'less controversial than The DaVinci Code,' because this book is pretty heretical. If you liked The Secret, no problem. If you're a conservative Christian concerned with avoiding that sort of New Age, we-are-all-gods / god-is-in-us sort of thing then I don't recommend this book.
