THE LOST SYMBOL is C 2009 DAN BROWN REVIEW BY CHRISTINE TRZYNA C 2009
So many reviews have already been made of this book, dare I add to the chaos?
Having seen ANGELS and DEMONS on the big screen, for my entire read I kept seeing the actor TOM HANKS in my mind's eye when I encountered the character Langdon.
Is it possible to read a Dan Brown book and not be completely fascinated by cutting edge technology and science clashing and meshing with ancient occult wisdom and spiritual controversy? It's his forte and the long wait for this book was worth it.
Would it be going too far to suggest that this book may be the ANTIDOTE for 9/11 because ultimately it is patriotic? Will the Masons have a resurgence of interest in their organization? If so, what about the Anti-Catholicism of the Masons?
What does it mean when you take notes because you want to look up Noetic Science? Like the aftermath of his other books, I fully expect that Dan Brown has created interest enough in his research for the book for others to go after him for accuracy.
For some reason I felt the story was a bit slow until it got really good. Life intruded and I had to put it down many times but about three forths of the way through I didn't want to.
