Just finished reading this book:
Unlike The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons though, it took me quite a while to finish it: The Da Vinci Code, 2 days; Angels & Demons, 2 days; The Lost Symbol, 1 month.
I doubt that it has to do with length.
As usual with Dan Brown books, the action happens as if the protagonists are on the search for a fat burner [read: fast paced]; they are always on the run! And, as always, there is a twist at the end, which makes the book interesting. However, I got so lost in the so many technical terms and issues discussed. Perhaps, I just lacked knowledge about Masons and pyramids that I simply couldn’t get it. In the end, I was not really sure what the lost symbol is [although I have an idea]!
I guess it just didn’t have the appeal that The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons had for me [which I literally couldn’t put down!]. Well, there’s always a next time to read, and understand, The Lost Symbol again, and I’ll tell you how it goes!
Wendy: Mama, I want a sister! In our whole batch, kami lang ni Violaine ang walang kapatid!
KG: Sige let’s adopt na lang muna!
Wendy: Ayaw! Gusto ko galing sa tyan mo!
She’s really growing up na! Before, ok lang we buy a sister or brother sa Cartimar, ngayon di na pwede!
[Hay, Wendy, if you only knew, baka by the time you have sister or brother, you’d be needing wrinkle cream already. He! He! Joke lang!]
