The lost symbol : a novel

It seems to me the problem with Dan Brown's books lies in the fact that readers think he is trying to be accurate and that he is really writing about the real world. He isn't. He is doing what most fiction writers do, which is to say "The following story I'm about to tell you is absolutely true!" in order to get them hooked in. There are some thrillers that do attempt to be faithful to the facts of the real world, but Brown's books do not do that.

Nice walk through religious thoughts.

A very difficult theme gets here a respectfull and entertaining treatment.

I must admit that after reading the DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons which both gave me sleepless nights (because I couldn't put the books down), I am quite disappointed with the Lost Symbol. Somehow, it came short of the excitement and thrill that I felt while reading the DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons. I read half of the book, then set it aside. After a few weeks, I continued reading but only because I was curious about the ending.

In fairness, I think the idea of the Bible to contain hidden messages is a great concept. Brown also succeeded in connecting some Bible passages with already known scientific concepts. All in all, it was a good read. I still consider Dan Brown to be a good author who does not fail to give his readers something to ponder about. Maybe he stretched the storyline a bit too far this time that it became dragging at times. But I would still recommend this book to those who want to complete their Brown collection.
