A review by heatherday916
The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

4.0

Once again, I found myself thoroughly engrossed in Dan Brown's writing. While I'm not a regular reader of suspense/thriller novels (primarily because I find I can't put them down and get no sleep until I finish them!), I really enjoy the quick pace with which this novel progressed. This book truly satisfied my imagination, with it's rapid scene changes and plot twists. I also enjoyed the added layers of mystery he added with the question of Director Sato and whether she should be trusted, as well as the potential significance of the mystery keyword-rich file on the CIA mainframe (I got a true chuckle out of that one).

I also truly enjoyed the exploration of Noetic Science - I was fascinated to learn that a true branch of science is working to, essentially, quantify aspects of faith.

Angels & Demons remains my favorite of Dan Brown's books, but The Lost Symbol has bumped The DaVinci Code for the #2 spot.
