Why read it?
2 authors picked The Lost Symbol as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved this Dan Brown thriller for immersing me into an unbelievable history of the Washington DC political, government, and architectural underbelly.
The complex plot full of minute details, took me on a roller coaster ride of secret societies' workings, dangerous scientific experiments on meditation to esoteric interpretation of scriptures and enlightenment. All the while Brown managed to keep the antagonist’s identity and true motivations behind his action hidden, keeping me on the edge till the very end.
Dan Brown grabs you within the first few pages and holds on to you through the whole book. The pace is frantic and can leave you breathless at times.
There's a great character twist at the end but I was a tiny bit disappointed with the ending. The story went so deep into the symbolic and mythical world, I guess I expected more. Perhaps I just wanted more.
From Edmond's list on crime from a retired police detective.
