Brown, Dan. The Lost Symbol. New York: Double Day/Random House, 2009. 509 pages. (Thriller / Mystery)Washington D.C: 7:00 pm.
Robert Langdon, Harvard Professor and symbologist, received a call from the secretary of his longtime friend and mentor: Peter Solomon. He said that Peter needed a favor: Langdon was to present a lecture in DC… to a very important bunch of people. When Langdon arrived he did not find what he expected to-not even close. He learned that if he did not act quickly, Peter may suffer the deadly consequences.
This book was phenomenal! Dan Brown is my favorite author, and there’s a reason his books are international bestsellers. For anyone who was enchanted by The DaVinci Code or Angels and Demons, this book will captivate you once again. Like the two books I just mentioned, this book stars Robert Langdon, but all of the other characters are different. This book involved Noetic Science, proving that human thought can affect matter, which is fascinating. In my opinion, the villain in The Lost Symbol is the most complex, chilling antagonist yet. His passed is revealed only at the end of the book in the most thrilling scene. This book is filled with secrets, suspense, and deceiving. This book surpasses every other book in complexity and writing style. To say that this book is a five star book would be a serious understatement. A must read thriller!
