– You can't dispute that Dan Brown has found a winning formula. His books are always fast-paced with lots of twists and turns that leave the reader breathless. "The Lost Symbol" is another one of this recipe! Having covered off the Jesus/Mary Magdalene story and the conspiracy story, Brown now turns his attentions to The Masons. Langdon finds he has been entrusted with a Masonic artifact which holds the key to Life, The Universe and Everything. The friend who has entrusted it to him is in mortal peril, and Langdon and the friend's sister face a race against time to decode the artifact and save his friend! If you want an intellectual read this isn't for you, but if you want an action-packed thriller that is well constructed, pretty well written and keeps you coming back for more, then Dan's your man! I mean, with Dan Brown, you know what you get, some love it, others load it! As for me, I`m between chairs, finding this a good read, yet not impressive at all times!
