Book Review: The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown


I was thinking on how i should start to write this post, but i must say one word comes to mind, disappointed.
I am a big fan of Dan Brown and his books (before the movies came out people). Surprisingly i read Angels & Demons before The Da Vinci code in which he is most famous for, then again in the end i did read his entire book list. I loved all of his books, because they all had that gripping thriller and no end to all the plot twists and suprises but always leaving you with a happy ending.
Then comes his latest addition, The Lost Symbol. Dan Brown has dug himself too deep into this whole Religion vs Science war and in his latest book, some scientific terms were very too well scientific, most of the audience i think were dumbfounded at the terms used and Space age fans with all their knowledge on gizmos and gadgets were caught by suprise.
This book has failed to deliver on its promise, lacks the thrill its predescors had, lacks the quality in story itself (although the potential was there) and the ending was just sad, very very annoying.

RATING: 3/5 (very generous, i would give it a 2.5/5 but i like him and hope he does better next time.)

READ IT YOURSELF.

Signed, Sealed & POSTED
