It was around I was out of university as well as working. I was one of those Americans that really did not get a publication after university at the time, you understand, the majority of them. It took a couple of weeks to finish as I like to relish every word a writer has actually written. I read it as quick as I might with each chapter finishing in some out of breath cliffhanger.
And like an episode of television, I really did not want to binge-watch like people do nowadays; I review a couple of chapters in each resting waiting beforehand for the next day to learn more. I do not intend to say anything concerning the subject of the book as I went in entirely blind and also wound up splendidly shocked and exceptionally enjoyed it, as well as I would want the very same for you.

I do believe an open mind, and also some light background expertise of Christianity will certainly help in truly enjoying this publication. Angels and Demons set a bar for Brown, and he just hasn't been able to match it since. It's a completely improbable plot mixed with even more improbable character developments and plot twists. So disappointed. If I'd known, I never would have bought the We all fear what we do not understand.
I won't go into details of the plot line or the action that takes place, but I will say that if you are a fan of action, drama, conspiracy theories, and history then you probably should give this one a shot.

Meenakshi, a Goodreads friend for a while now, found this review and it reminded me that I'd actually read this book 5-plus years ago. I had completely forgotten it existed, both the book and the review actually I think it's unsurprising I didn't hold onto the memory of reading the book since I review over a year and read almost three times that many.
But I also t Though technically better written than Digital Fortress, this is Dan Brown's worst novel. Brown creates false suspense by hiding revelations from readers even after major characters learn them. In most cases this is unnecessary, as the twists would have more impact if made in a timely manner.
Too often, however, the revelations are obvious or anticlimactic, weaknesses that are amplified by Brown's hide-the-ball technique. Brown's penchant for dubious subject matter is well-known, but he previousl Recommended to Elizabeth by: Morgan though 'recommend' is an awfully strong word.
This technique keeps the pace of the book exciting there are no natural breaks in which to The use of a large amount of symbols and conspiracy buzzwords does not excuse one from having to actually write a compelling story.
The 'twist' in this books was easily visible hundreds of pages out and didn't surprise a single person I know who read the book. While The Lost Symbol may not be quite as good as the now iconic previous novel The Da Vinci Code or the fantastic Angels and Demons, Dan Brown still manages to grab his readers from the start and never lets them go.

I could not wait to discover what happened next. The next book is the DaVinci Code then The Lost Sign as well as finally his most recent publication which was launched in , Snake pit. All great publications and all quite possibly researched. Mr Brown has existed. In fact investigated these things personally to offer the reader a feeling of realistic look like no writer I have actually ever before discovered.
