The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
1.0
The plot: Blah blah religion good, blah blah technology bad. Blah blah mysticism good, blah blah science bad. Throw in the occasional explosion, babble about Noetic science, some history about Masons, et voila! That's the book. The whole book. Seriously.
In every way that The Da Vinci Code was exhilarating and unique, though not terribly well-written, this book was almost cookie-cutter religious fiction. Quite honestly, I believe this "Go FAITH! Rah rah!" book was written simply to pander to (and quiet the protests of) all the Bible-beating Christians who were offended by the alternative ideas proposed in the first two books in the Robert Langdon series.
