The Lost Symbol pales a little in comparison to Dan Brown's two other major hits: Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. The story kicks off with a slow and dry start but it gets more interesting mid-story. The ending of the story was also disappointing and I think, it ended a bit hastily. But nonetheless, it is quite an intriguing story if you are into his past works about the Free Masons. The Lost Symbol is set in Washington D.C., which people tend to associate with politics more than religion, so I guess that's a nice twist as compared to say, a setting in Rome/ Vatican City. Quite a worthwhile read, if you are a fan of Dan Brown. Otherwise, it might be good to start with Da Vinci Code first.
This book was a total letdown from the others. I am so disappointed and it feels like he wrote a book just to cash out on the publicity he got from da vinci code. Its a total waste of time to even bother reading this book.
