Book Review of The Lost Symbol (Robert Langdon, Bk 3)

The Lost Symbol (Robert Langdon, Bk 3)

If you are a Dan Brown fan, you won't be disappointed.

It's another breathless thrill ride as Robert Langdon finds himself in a deadly race against time, up against a mad and brilliant tattooed man in a Washington DC suddenly rife with Freemasons and the ancient symbols they hid in plain sight throughout the city.

It's long at around 650 pages and at times a little too concerned with educating us about all the symbolism and mythic lore enshrined in our Capitol....and it should have ended 20 pages earlier.

Nonetheless it's a great read and I, for one, will not view DC with quite the same eyes again.
