Dan Brown is a blockbuster writer who became quite famous when he wrote and published, 'The Da Vinci Code.' It was followed by the movie starring Tom Hanks who really did quite well in the role of Robert Langdon who solves the many puzzles presented throughout the story. After a several year wait we finally were able to read Dan Brown's latest book, 'The Lost Symbol.' From my perspective, this author writes very convincingly and has an adept way to keep the reader off base as he takes you through the thriller. Then why did I not like the book?
I think he tried too hard to repeat his success with 'The Da Vinci Code.' It must be difficult to have a real blockbuster and then put out your next work for all to admire or criticize. He makes many points about being a Mason and spells out some of the details in becoming a 33rd degree Mason. He tries to make the Masons secretive and then seems to really like what they do. I find many contradictions like the above. It is as though he is trying to convince himself of what to believe. For me it comes down to having faith. You either have faith or you do not. Would I encourage you to read this latest work? Yes! Form your own conclusions and then lets talk. Happy travels.
