Book Review #8 - The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

                This is the third book in the Robert Langdon series I’ve read so far. They are all fun and entertaining books but there is a noticeable pattern of how the book goes. There’s a murder/kidnapping that only Robert Langdon can solve because he must follow the clues of an ancient historical puzzle. It’s not that it’s a bad story format, but it is beginning to become a little repetitive at this point.

                Despite this, The Lost Symbol is still a fun read. In this book, we get to explore Washington DC and the secret of the Masons. These books always make me want to visit the places where they take place. Author Dan Brown always manage to find historical stories that make these places far more interesting than I originally thought. The books pacing starts off a little slow but near the middle picks up and becomes fairly suspenseful. The last part of the book though is a little anticlimactic, it feels like it should have wrapped up a little more quickly. Needless to say, if you liked the other Robert Langdon books, this one fall in the same vein and is just as fun to read.


Score : 7.5 / 10
