Quick review: The Lost Symbol

The Lost Symbol
Dan Brown

(2.5/5)

Passably enjoyable. Formulaic. Second half completely predictable. Not sure why author needed six years to do research.

Better than Angels and Demons (I think, but maybe I am letting my memory of the book be tainted by my memory of the film). Not as good as The Da Vinci Code.

Nonetheless, I do like this genre and so based on some research, I am going to read The Club Dumas next (in English because I am totally lame), and then take another stab at Foucault’s Pendulum.  Who knows maybe I’ll even re-read The Baroque Cycle.  Or not.
