  • 3 stars because it kept me entertained. Worth the read but not as good as the previous books!

  • Taken as an Indiana Jones-esque ride, it was quite fun. Make no mistake that this work is primarily fiction. I would have been happier with the book if the treatment of Noetic Science was more critical than it was. "The Secret" wrapped in a white lab coat, remains woo.

  • I was so excited to hear a new Dan Brown book was coming out, that I set aside a weekend to read it. And all though there are few suspenseful scenes, I just didn't enjoy this as much as his other books.

«What was lost will be found…».
Washington DC: Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned at the last minute to deliver an evening lecture in the Capitol Building. Within moments of his arrival, however, a disturbing object – gruesomely encoded with five symbols – is discovered at the epicentre of the Rotunda. It is, he recognises, an ancient invitation, meant to beckon its recipient towards a long-lost world of hidden esoteric wisdom.
When Langdon’s revered mentor, Peter Solomon – philanthropist and prominent mason – is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes that his only hope of saving his friend’s life is to accept this mysterious summons and follow wherever it leads him.
Langdon finds himself quickly swept behind the facade of America’s most historic city into the unseen chambers, temples and tunnels which exist there. All that was familiar is transformed into a shadowy, clandestine world of an artfully concealed past in which Masonic secrets and never-before-seen revelations seem to be leading him to a single impossible and inconceivable truth.
A brilliantly composed tapestry of veiled histories, arcane icons and enigmatic codes, «The Lost Symbol» is an intelligent, lightning-paced thriller that offers surprises at every turn. For, as Robert Langdon will discover, there is nothing more extraordinary or shocking than the secret which hides in plain sight…
