Lost Symbol
Lost Symbol | Dan Brown
Famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected summons to appear at the U.S. Capitol Building. His planned lecture is interrupted when a disturbing object artfully encoded with five symbols is discovered in the building. Langdon recognizes in the find an ancient invitation into a lost world of esoteric, potentially dangerous wisdom. When his mentor Peter Solomon a longstanding Mason and beloved philanthropist is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that the only way to save Solomon is to accept the mystical invitation and plunge headlong into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and one inconceivable truth . . . all under the watchful eye of Dan Brown's most terrifying villain to date. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C., "The Lost Symbol" is an intelligent, lightning-paced story with surprises at every turn--Brown's most exciting novel yet."

Not a fan. I'm about 20% in and have lost interest. The villain is a tiresome mustache twirler. This seems like a pale copy of The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons which I loved. On to something else! It's an obnoxiously cold day in Minnesota. Perfect for coffee and books!

TheBookHippie I agree 🥶 in the Mitten on the lake too 🥶 also #allhailthebail 2mo
Prairiegirl_reading I did not like this either. I‘m not giving Dan Brown any more of my money until he personally comes to my house and gives me my money back for this one! 🤭🤭 2mo

I am so glad that I read it. Again, Dan Brown delivers a thought provoking story in his unique style. I know others really dislike Brown's style of writing saying that it follows a formula of the ultra dramatic and the never ending cliff hanger chapters, but I just don't tire of that at all. A great thrilling read. I can't wait to read the next Dan Brown book!

I like this series. This has been made Into a TV series, which I have not watched. It's a mystery with a thriller feel. The last couple of chapters were a little drab and could have not been included as far as I am concerned.

🎥 I've watched a few episodes of this book adaptation - moderately creepy, intense, adventurous and enjoyable 🎬

CaramelLunacy I didn't realize they had adapted this one - will have to keep an eye out 2y

The Langdon books are so good. Twists and turns everywhere! Dan Brown is amazing at what he does and I love authors that write in a way that my brain creates the visuals as I read.

This was my first novel and i have to say this is what made me want to read more novels. The book transports you into a different plane where you are constantly thinking about the possibilities of what could happen in the next chapter. This book is one of the best thriller novels one could read.

I thought I didn‘t remember much of this book, but once I got going, it all started coming back to me. The book is so good, and part of that is this time around Langdon is fighting for friends, people he actually has relationships with and knew before the events of the book. That might make this book the best one in the series (although, admittedly, I haven‘t read Origin yet).

Scochrane26 I have had a fascination with seeing DC from the Washington Monument ever since reading this book. Last time I was there, it was closed, so I‘m hoping to go again. 4y
GingerAntics @Scochrane26 that‘s got to be one heck of a view!!! I‘m terrified of heights, so maybe the top of the Washington monument, since I‘d be inside looking out a window might be do-able. The catwalk around the dome in the capital building is absolutely never happening. 🤣😂🤣 4y

Every book in this series has at least one moment that just makes you laugh. This was great. Admittedly, Robert got further than I would have. There is no way I‘d be up in that catwalk around the dome of the National capital.

Yes, this is a work of fiction, but this is still historical fact! In fact, most modern conservative Christians wouldn‘t recognise the founding fathers as Christians at all.

This is another book that has been sitting on my #TBR for far too long. I have a student who has been encouraging me to finish reading the Robert Langdon books, and he is not wrong. This is another solid book. I enjoy having to think to try and solve the riddles while I read. I will go on to the next one now that I have more time to read (it‘s summer!)

Tadams4 Enjoy your summer! 5y

I loved this Robert Langdon book more than the other simply because I have been to D.C. and knew some of the locations they were talking about!

Betty Lived in DC a few years when I was in grad school and started teaching. I miss living there! Have been back in Tenn almost 44 years, so there are lots of changes! 5y

I love Google because it‘s a tool that gets me to the information I need but it‘s only as good as the user and it doesn‘t tell you if the information is reliable, valid, and so on. Go to a librarian!
