to: The Lost Symbol (Robert Langdon, #3)byDan Brown
One word, "Meh." Not a bad read overall. But it suffers from many of Brown's literary traps. His plot devices are so similar that deducing the "twist end" hasn't been difficult, rather overt, since I first read Angels & Demons. Were this the first Dan Brown novel I had read, I would most likely have enjoyed it much better. Character development is decent, not deep, and Brown pretty much leaves the history of Robert Langdon to the reader. Something akin to, "I'm sure you've read my previous work so you know all about him." The plot is fairly exciting and the book has a quick pace. I'd just prefer as much focus on storyline and plot obfuscation as went into developing symobolic mysteries for our hero to solve. Would I recommend it? Probably not. For those wanting a Langdon mystery I'd say read Angels & Demons. It's great! The next two you can leave on the shelf. (Or wait for the inevitable eventually movie.)
