Helpful Score: 1

As far as Dan Brown novels go, this was one of the great disappointments. After well-received books like Angels and Demons and Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol is just okay. It's basically the same story as the other two, but taking place in America and not done as well. I don't think it's bad. The first two-thirds hold your attention pretty well, and there are some interesting ideas. But it's definitely a weak thriller. By the last fifty pages, the fast pace is gone and the explanations are just silly. If you're looking for a Dan Brown-type thriller, this one isn't horrible . . . but you can definitely do better.
