The Lost Symbol
The Lost Symbol is actual agnate to his antecedent books, in that it has the aforementioned formulaic plot, structure, and theme, alone this time it takes abode in Washington, D.C. and involves the Freemasons instead of the Knights Templar. Just like in the Da Vinci Code, Langdon is alleged to Washington at a friend’s request, alone to acquisition him missing, and spends the blow of the book block clues throughout the city-limits and aggravating to baffle a new villain who is acutely as acute as he is.

As mentioned above, the blueprint in The Lost Symbol is about absolutely the same. After alone a few capacity into the book, I started cartoon actual comparisons to National Treasure (Widescreen Edition), and I could see some readers authoritative that affirmation if it weren’t for a few exceptions: Langdon is added agreeable than Ben Gates, the mysteries are abundant added complex and well-researched, and there is acutely added activity and suspense.
This time, rather than aggravating to avoid some rather ample artifice holes, as independent in the Da Vinci Code, you will accept to append your atheism that a Harvard assistant is physically able of so abounding abutting calls. It about reads added like an Ian Fleming atypical than a book about a mid-50s assistant aggravating to break a centuries-old scavenger hunt. That works out able-bodied because a lot of books of this brand can get advised down by the accurate or actual aspects and bore you to death.

That’s not to say that The Lost Symbol doesn’t accept it’s faults. The aboriginal is a lot of conspicuously the writing. While it has absolutely bigger back The Da Vinci Code, it still seems rather sophomoric, and not on par with anyone who is one of the biggest-selling authors in the endure twenty years. Even admitting it’s fiction, some of the characters’ accomplishments absolutely fabricated me admiration if Brown has had abundant animal acquaintance while autograph the book. There are added annoyances that he always repeats in the book, but I won’t accompany them up for abhorrence that advertence them may could cause approaching readers to accept their absorption consistently fatigued to them. Overall though, the autograph is not abhorrent and the artifice is affecting abundant that I can discount it. Another affair that Brown plays about with is the abstraction of “mind over matter.” He provides a abundant accord of analysis on the accountable (too abundant in some chapters), but I still begin it a little too out there, and ambition he had called a altered angle.
I anticipate this book will address not alone to Dan Brown fans, but to admirers of Douglas Preston and Lee Child (Langdon is about a carbon of the Agent Pendergast character), James Rollins, Michael Crichton (there are absolutely a lot of influences actuality as far as analysis into a book goes), and with this book, Clive Cussler (the activity is on par with annihilation Dirk Pitt would see).

If I had to rank it, I would put The Lost Symbol beneath Angels and Demons, and aloft Da Vinci Code. While I don’t anticipate it’s account of 5 stars, it was absolutely an agreeable apprehend and abundant to cloy me until the next book comes out (provided he doesn’t delay as continued as he did for this one).
