Search - The Lost Symbol (Robert Langdon, Bk 3)

Absolutely fascinating! Fast paced that kept me reading! I couldn't put it down! A wonderful addition to the Robert Langdon series!!

After reading Angels and Demons as well as The DaVinci Code - I was expecting more. This book disappointed me on a lot of levels. Instead of writing more on plot - he spent a lot of time writing gory details of different scenes, which were completely unnecessary to move the plot forward.

The premise was interesting, and living in close proximity to DC made it appealing. Overall, this book was disappointing in plot and pace.

After finishing The Lost Symbol, I've now read every Dan Brown book. I find that each book is pretty much the same with slightly different conspiracies, though Robert Langdon keeps mostly to biblical or freemason type mysteries. The book is still a page-turning, staying-up-all-night-cause-you-can't-put-it-down, exciting read, so 4 stars for addictiveness, -1 star for "I feel like I've read this before".
If you still like Brown but want to try some without Robert Langdon, try Deception Point.

very good read

I haven't finished this yet but cannot put it down!! It's fascinating and fast-moving. A real page-turner!
