Book Review: The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
Reviewed by Christiana S. We give it: **
This is the very latest book of the best-selling author of "Angels and Demons" and "DaVinci Code". I have just finished reading it. I must admit that I liked it very much - until I reached the end....
The main character is Robert Langton, which many of you may know from the books I mentioned before. Well, in this book, he is called by his dear friend, Solomon, to give a speech in Washington D.C., but when he arrives there, he discovers that his friend has been captured. He receives a message from the man behind the capture to interpret some symbols that lead to the Ancient Mysteries. And the plot goes on. (Sorry for not writing more but I don't want to spoil the anxiety and anticipation felt while reading it.)I like Dan Brown's writing style very much. I love the way he researches before each book and how he describes actual locations and real organisations. However, as you may have heard, his books are a bit repetitive. They are all written in the same style and tempo. Although at the beginning it's breath-taking and you cannot put it down, by the end it gets a bit predictable. For this book especially, I didn't like the ending at all. I didn't think it fit the rest of the book as it was very simple. However, if you have not read any other books by Dan Brown, I recommend it because it is well-written and contains a lot of action, fast scenes and loads of information. I have read all of Dan Brown's books and I can confidently say that my favourite one is "The Deception Point", which I recommend to everyone who would like to experience the magnificent world of Brown's books.
Even though I was a bit dissappointed by this book's ending, I still believe that Dan Brown is an exceptional writer with a unique ability of combining facts and fiction.
