The Lost Symbol

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

My rating: 3 of 5 stars Where the Da Vince code and Angels & Demons provided a healthy dose of puzzles of various forms, The Lost Symbol restricts itself to one big puzzle that sort of underwhelms when revealed. Dan Brown gets a little too philosophical and almost all the main characters mull upon their respective beliefs - sometimes whole chapters are devoted to this exercise. Thanks to the Tom Hanks driven movies, I was imagining the screenplay for this version. It is going to be a tough task without some major alterations to the story line. Will Washington D.C benefit from tourism revenue the way Paris did? I doubt it. View all my reviews >>
