The Lost Symbol

I just finished reading my fifth Dan Brown book, The Lost Symbol. If you’ve read The Da Vinci Code and/or Angels & Demons, then you’ll recognize the main character, Robert Langdon, Harvard symbologist. Langdon is unexpectedly summoned by prominent Mason and longtime friend, Peter Solomon, to give a lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building. Upon Langdon’s rushed arrival to Washington D.C., he soon realizes that we was tricked into this trip and Peter was not the man behind this last-minute request.
We soon learn that Peter has been kidnapped by a crazed, tattooed, lunatic named Mal’akh. Mal’akh informs Langdon that he must follow his instructions carefully to ensure Peter keeps his life. Langdon’s main objective is to solve an age-old Masonic mystery to unveil the “Lost Word” so Mal’akh can complete his “transformation.” In the mix of it all, Peter’s sister, Katherine, a researcher of Noetic science, is dragged into the mess to join Langdon in his efforts to solve the mystery and save their beloved friend and brother.

The Lost Symbol is another great suspense novel by Dan Brown. I genuinely enjoy all of his books because he writes with such a great style that keeps me so engulfed in the material, and this book is just another great example of that.The Lost Symbol has an insane twist… Literally jaw-dropping. I give this book 4.5/5 stars. Definitely give it a read if you haven’t already — especially if you’re a fan of Dan Brown, or suspense/thriller novels in general. Can’t wait for his next book!
