So for those of you out there who have not yet read Dan Brown’s latest book, The Lost Symbol, be prepared for the same type of story as Angels and Demons and the Da Vinci Code. Much like the hit movie series, National Treasure, The Lost Symbol takes the reader on an adventure all over the U.S. Capitol – Washington D.C. Once again, the Freemasons play a central role in the book, along with the CIA and the never tiring protagonist – Robert Langdon.

I will say that this book is very readable and not boring. I believe the entire novel takes place in the space of 10 hours, so that means the progression within the novel is pretty fast paced. Yet again, the pages are stuffed full of symbology, ancient history, conspiracy theories, religion, government agencies, fringe ’sciences’ and the token lunatic antagonist.

Dan Brown, yet again, does an excellent job allowing the reader to figure out things just before characters in the novel do, patronizing the reader into reading further. All in all I will say that it was a good entertaining read and a decent piece of fiction. If you really liked his other two more prominent novels, which I listed above, then you will probably like The Lost Symbol.
