Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol: A Lost Adventure for A Lost Cause


I finished it in two days.

It's not that good.

The plot is same old same old.
The villain is definitely not a secret. If you can't predict him within the first pages, there's something seriously wrong with your head.
The way it is written is frustrating.
It produces hype for answers and then gives you a decent one.

It STILL has some high points.
But they have nothing to do with the common apraisals.
The philosophy behind the Freemason is good, and so is the mysticism.
The symbols are cool. I'm actually thinking to have it printed on a shirt.

Conclusion:
Just borrow it.

  4. for 48 SGD? no.
    I bought it for 36 though. I even got a mug for it. and I like the pictures inside. so I'm not sorry.

    the facts are still there.
    but I always like the facts.
    especially the facts on this book.
    because they revolve around the IDEA of ancient mysticism.
    I find that fascinating.
