The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
At first, I wasn't sure I was going to like this book. For some reason, it just moved slow and I had a hard time getting into it. And there were some parts that dragged on. But I'm glad I pushed through and finished because I thought it was amazing. Especially the last few chapters.

Robert Langdon, famous Harvard professor, goes to Washington D.C. for a lecture and instead, in thronw into the craziest hours of his life. Dealing with a madman and trying to save the sacred secrets of the Mason's. He learns about the famous Masonic Pyramid and is persuaded to decipher the code of the pyramid to find the Lost Treasure of the Mason's. This adventure takes him and the reader on a wild goose chase all through America's capital. But when Langdon and the reader find out what the Lost Treasure really is, it comes as a shocking surprise and is nothing close to what is expected. It's better!!

I really liked how this book ended. Brown really got more into the religious aspect of the Mason's and other religions throughout the world. He talked about how as a society and world, we have found that we know longer need faith, beliefs, or hope. We have shut out God and all his greatness for the more materials things of life. And how because of how "wicked" society has become, they are not ready to here the goodness of God's words and teaching's.

I thought, in a lot of ways, this book had a really good moral to it.
