The Lost Symbol | Dan Brown

pick

Caveat: I am NOT a literary snob.

Okay, I am a tincy-wincy bit of a literary snob. But Dan Brown is a hill I'm willing to die on. Yes, this is utter tosh at the final analysis. And yes, Brown's writing style can be screamingly irritating at times.

But oh boy, is this ever a fun read! You kinda know what you're gonna get, but I devoured this in 2 or 3 breathless gulps & knew for an instance pure entertainment. Utter tosh still, but whatever!

6 days out of 7, I eat healthily. Then, on the 7th, I treat myself to a dirty takeaway, full of fat & MSG, and I try to feel guilty, but I can't because it tasted SO good. This is similar to how I feel about ditching Literature (with a big L) and having me a little Dan Brown time. Sorry, not sorry.

The Lost Symbol | Dan Brown

so-so

I occasionally enjoy a good conspiracy theory and a mystery that mixes art, science, and religion seems like it should be a surefire hit. But I'd forgotten that I find DB's writing kind of annoying. This one was repetitive and choppy, yet still entertaining. But my biggest compliant was with our hero, Robert. For a scholar/ professor who has made a career out of learning and deciphering the meanings of symbols and ancient languages, he was

bookandbedandtea exceedingly cynical and condescending throughout the entire book. I don't think he had a single conversation where he didn't express disbelief about the ideas being presented to him. He even frequently told people their information/ concepts/ beliefs were flat out wrong simply because he'd never heard the ideas before. I wanted to slap him. 4mo

More sepia than brown, but at least the author's last name is Brown 😂

bailed

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 2y

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! 🤭🤭 2y

Sparklemn @prairegirl_reading Send him over to my house if he stops by 😁 2y
