Book 8: The Lost Symbol

I am a big fan of Dan Brown's writing. A lot of the other mysteries I've read that have had psychopath killers intertwined with conspiracy theories and myths have either been far to much (Like The Book of the Dead by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child) or greatly lacking in substance. Dan Brown does not disappoint in this novel, though it is not my favourite by far (My favourite would be Digital Fortress. It was my sort of story).

What can I say about The Lost Symbol? As always it goes in depth into history, architecture and science. This book focuses on the Freemasons, how they've shaped America and their hidden secrets.

I found the chemistry between Robert Langdon and the female lead in this book to be lacking where in all his other books its quite apparent about how women feel about him. This was slightly disappointing for me because, unfortunately, I am a hopeless romantic.

This review isn't going to well so I'm going to cut it off here. I would give this lovely book five and a half pyramids out of ten. No real reason behind the low rating other than I didn't enjoy the book as much as I thought I would, but if you like Dan Browns writing you should defiantly read it.
