How can all you people really dislike this book so much?! When I read a book I try to sit back, relax and enjoy it, which I did with this one; which I did not enjoy Angels and Demons. I think the people that hate this book just try to analyze instead of just plain reading. For me the story flowed really well. I like short sentences, what difference does that make as long as it makes sense.

Mikayla I'm usually the same with books, I don't tend to over analyse to much. I just like to enjoy the book for what it is.

I loved The Da Vinci Code, and think I preferred it a little more than Angels & Demons. Though I think this is due to thinking this plot was more dragged out, stopping me from reading as quickly as I'd like. But never mind, it was still overall a great book.

What I like about the books the most is that rather than make you criticise religion as some people do, it just allows you to think about it a little more than usual. It just make you wonder in a light hearted way rather than punching you in the gut.(less)

This is a book to be endured rather than enjoyed. A perfunctory piece of writing.

Why is The Lost Symbol so underrated compared to The Da Vinci code, Angels and Demons and Inferno. It's just as good as the other three so why ???

Way too much dialogue between people discussing which doctrine is better when one is fictitious. So very much lot of the antagonist admiring how beautiful he felt he & his body was. In the first 2 books I felt like I was on the edge of my seat, but this one felt as though the author had a deadline to turn a book in and just tried to make it as long as the other 2, unable to spend the appropriate time making it an actual thriller. The CIA (forget title) Yato was a very well written character, but any book depends so highly on the protagonist(s) and this one I found annoying... Also unlike the first 2 books there really was no mystery. I knew who the protagonists was so early on & I'm sure that contributed to my feelings. Who knows though we are all different, above I read that this was someone's favorite of the 3.(less)

Do we need to read the first two books of the series before reading this one?
