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
