The lost symbol

[truthseeker22]

I just read the lost symbol by Dan Brown and thought it to be very entertaining even though there are some things he talks about I don't agree with

I honestly didn't care for it at all.

His writing style is incredibly lazy and formulaic, he lets the plot dominate the novel at the expence of his own imaginaton and focuses more on pushing a plot that sounds like it was put together by a youtube conspiracy theorist on their 30th redbull down peoples throats.

I'm sure mr Brown has a good novel in him somewhere, but until he stops writing diatribes, its never going to come out.

i like books written by Dan brown, i still have not had a time to read the lost symbol but i know that i will like it. his books are very intriguing. he's brilliant!
on the other hand, as much as i like reading fiction i also like to read inspirational books.

It was better than Deception Point and Digital Fortress, but not as good as The DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons.

I loves me some good nutty conspiracy theory. Saw a documentary about The Lost Symbol a few weeks ago. One Mason they were interviewing said something like, "Yes, but before the Masons manage to organize world domination, first we'll have to organize the World Domination Fish Fry." Hee!

The Davinci Code and Angels and Demons were pretty good reads, so I'm looking forward to getting around to this one...eventually.

It wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad.

His books have similarly predictable characters and plots but he has this style that I like when he leaves us with cliffhangers one chapter after another that makes you wanna go finish the whole thing.

Imo, he's more storyteller than writer. His books are entertaining enough...they are great for vacations when you are next to a pool, keeping one eye on the kids.
