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!
i haven’t read it yet because i’m waiting for the cheap booksale copy or the free paborrow copy from my sister, haha!

I’ve had high hopes pa naman. Sabi nga ng isang friend ko, just wait for the paperback, hindi sulit yung pricey hardbound copy.
