SynopsisIn this stunning follow-up to the global phenomenon The Da Vinci Code , Dan Brown demonstrates once again why he is the world's most popular thriller writer. The Lost Symbol is a masterstroke of storytelling--a deadly race through a real-world labyrinth of codes, secrets, and unseen truths . . . all under the watchful eye of Brown's most terrifying villain to date. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C., The Lost Symbol accelerates through a startling landscape toward an unthinkable finale. As the story opens, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building. Within minutes of his arrival, however, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object --artfully encoded with five symbols--is discovered in the Capitol Building. Langdon recognizes the object as an ancient invitation . . . one meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom. When Langdon's beloved mentor, Peter Solomon--a prominent Mason and philanthropist --is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is instantly plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations--all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth. As the world discovered in The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons , Dan Brown's novels are brilliant tapestries of veiled histories, arcane symbols, and enigmatic codes. In this new novel, he again challenges readers with an intelligent, lightning-paced story that offers surprises at every turn. The Lost Symbol is exactly what Brown's fans have been waiting for . . . his most thrilling novel yet., THE #1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER FROM THE ICONIC AUTHOR OF THE DA VINCI CODE "Impossible to put down." -- The New York Times "Thrilling and entertaining, like the experience on a roller coaster." -- Los Angeles Times Famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected summons to deliver a lecture at the U.S. Capitol Building.

    Same old Robert Langdon.

    Same deal. If you've read one Robert Langdon story, you've read them all. It's extremely formulaic. Having said that, the formula works for a fast paced fun adventure filled with knowledge about lesser known things. I enjoy them. Not everyone will. Not everyone will enjoy more than one in this series. But I do.

    TOO MUCH SAUCE IN THE SPAGETTI

    Although Mr. Brown has written one great book, sadly this isn't it. Poor Mr. Langdon starts out supposedly being shot in the head and suffering from amnesia, and the plot declines magnificently from there into fits of unbelievable twists and an overabundance of Italian verbage. Believability is sadly lacking in this foray into unrealistic characters and over stuffed chapters. Simplify, simplify would have been a better route to go. Overall a slightly entertaining read but I'm still waiting for aliens to show up before I turn the last page....

  • Don’t lose this symbol

    This was one of the best books I’ve read In a long time. Compelling, and a fast page turner filled with mystery and intrigue with a good plot and a cast of great characters. It will teach you a few things about this country USA 🇺🇸 and all of the symbols most don’t know. I Rate it up there with East of Eden, Master of the Game, The Sea Wolf, not in the same vein as none of these are, but filled with adventure, anxieties and joys as well as taking you somewhere you may have not gone before. The book itself was good to hold and easy on the eyeballs.

  • Read It Through TWICE

    I was so interested in this book that I "gobbled it down" very quickly. Realizing I'd probably missed important parts of the plot, I read it again and enjoyed it even more. Highly recommended.
