The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

3.0

Every once in awhile, I follow the masses and get the "must read selection" of the summer. I did it before with the DaVinci Code and now again with The Lost Symbol. Ummm...how can I say this...After such a long wait from the DaVinci Code, I really did expect more from this book. Though it was relatively fast paced storyline, I felt there were entire sections of the book that could have been omitted- in essence the last 20 pages could have been removed entirely. With so many authors that have already follwed in Dan Brown's footsteps I guess I had unrealistic expectations for this book to deliver more of a punch then it really did. (Though there was a twist that really did catch me for a loop)
