The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown Reviewed By: Joe Druckman

The story starts off with our friend Robert Langdon on his way to Washington D.C. He has been invited by his once mentor, old friend, and head of the Smithsonian, to give a speach at the U.S. Capitol. Once he arrives he makes his grand enterance, only to find the hall deserted. In the next room he finds Solomons severed hand encoded with an ancient invitation on it. Soon we meet Solomons sister Katherine, who is in trouble from the man who took Solomon. Later she teams up with Langdon, and together they discover ancient masonic secrets while evading the C.I.A.'s Director Sato and the madman who kidnapped Peter Solomon.

I would definetly recomend this book to anyone who has read the other books with Robert Langdon, but if you havent read the other books I would recomend reading at least one of them. The way the solve the puzzle is a little more complicated then in the other books, and the action is alittle less. I think I didn't like this one as much as the others because they did less traveling and less suspense. In Angles and Demons there was plenty of suspense and in the Davinci Code they did lots of traveling. I give it 3 1/2 out of 5.
