Good read but not the page-turner daVinci was Nov 22, 2009 Some interesting concepts but at times it felt as if Brown was simply trying to download all his research rather than advance the story with his information . I'd still recommend this book for an interesting, quick paced read.
Bow Wow! Nov 22, 2009 I am a fan, but this book is a dog!
Don't bother folks, get his first two books: "Digital Fortress" and "Deception Point." Everything else--yes, including "The Da Vinci Code"-- from those has been a decrescendo of inspiration.
For truly great, entertaining reading, try anything by Arturo Perez-Reverte, and donate this Brown puppy to your nearest Salvation Army store so they can make the $.50 cents on re-sale.
Dan Brown feeling guilty about offending religion perhaps? Nov 21, 2009 This book was not good. It had some elements that I did like, for example the origins of modern words and expressions and discussion of ancient symbols and their origins. But at the end of the day what this book was about was a bunch of people genuinely sympathetic to religion and the possibilty of ESP like energies that link religion to science. Sorry, but the faith healers out there at large are HOAKSTERs plain and simple. There is no "Force" out there which they are channelling to turn cancer cells into healty cells. It's pure hoaksterism, or else why not just openly publish these miracle cures in medical journals, earning yourself a nobel prize while you're at it. Ever notice that faith healers never cure somebody who has amputated limbs? It's always a disease that might have been easily faked on either the patient's sick side or on their "cured" side. The book had entirely too much sympathy to the idea that the Bible, etc... ancient manuscripts were actually works of science. That is simply not the case. I've seen people trying to find evidence of understanding of evolution in the Bible, but it's pure fabrication because it's not there.
I'm afraid with this book, Dan Brown has lost a reader. I did like the Da Vinci code, Angels and Demons, Digital Fortress, and Deception Point, but after this book, I can say firmly that I will never pick up another DB book again.
Dan Brown's best book so far! Nov 21, 2009 I enjoyed Angels and Demons, and the Da Vinci Code, but the Lost Symbol kept me on edge through the whole book. The twists and turns were phenominal!! Loved it!!
Robert Langdon has become stupid... Nov 21, 2009 I'm sorry, but the Giant Stone which the word was buried under? I knew the ending within the first 100 or so pages.
So much for unpredictable.
And the classified material? Why didn't she just show everyone in the first place? Wouldn't that make more sense if she is trying to have them help her and gain trust?
Hugely disappointed, its a good thing I got it from the library and didn't pay for it.
