NOW A MAJOR TELEVISION SERIES

The Capitol Building, Washington DC: Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon believes he is here to give a lecture. He is wrong. Within minutes of his arrival, a shocking object is discovered. It is a gruesome invitation into an ancient world of hidden wisdom.

When Langdon's mentor, Peter Solomon - prominent mason and philanthropist - is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that his only hope of saving his friend's life is to accept this mysterious summons.

It is to take him on a breathless chase through Washington's dark history. All that was familiar is changed into a shadowy, mythical world in which Masonic secrets and never-before-seen revelations seem to be leading him to a single impossible and inconceivable truth...

Includes an extract of the latest Robert Langdon thriller, Origin, available now.

The plot device and character developments which the plot hinges around are done well. Intriguing, makes you want to keep reading, typical Dan Brown stuff. Even the twist, which some may see coming, was pretty good. But the ending, as the plot finishes, isn't just anti climactic, but unfulfilling, disappointing and perhaps even infuriating. It's such an awful ending that I would recommend you not bother with this. It'll be a real waste of time!

ANOTHER MINDBLOWING LAGDON STORY BY DAN BROWN....... BUT STILL THIS ONE IS WITH THE LIMITATIONS I AM NOT ACTUALLY CRITICIZING HIS WORK........ BUT STILL THE LOST SYMBOL ISNT GOOD ENOUGH LIKE PREVIOUS ONE IN UNTILL YOU READ AROUND 250 PAGES THE BOOK KEEP HIS SECRET AND THEN YOU BECOME ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT MALAKH BY YOURSELF THANKS TO VERY VERY ORDINARY PORTRAYAL OF THE CHARACTER LIKE EVERY OTHER MYSTERY NOVEL.....FREEMASONS PART IS PRETTY INTERESTING BUT I ALMOST LAUGHED OUT LOUD ON THE FLOATING INCIDENT AT THE ENDING PART WHEN ROBERT IS TRAPPED UNDER THAT COFFIN OR WHATEVER FILLED WITH WATER....I THINK DAN WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT SO DRAMATIC THAT HE FORGOT ABOUT THE LOGIC....

One of the worst books I have ever read. Excess use of dramatic pauses and anti climatic everytime, ending dragged on for two extra chapters and achieved nothing. What a waste of time.
