THE REALLY LOST SYMBOL





With so much expectation, I finally bought Dan Brown’s “The Lost Symbol” Book. As I started reading, I found it was exceedingly slow at the start. Usually his books will be a bit dragging in pace at the beginning. But this time, I couldn’t accept. In point of fact, the whole story was based on America and for the most part the White House and it’s nearly places… I was really LOST at the end of every chapter and certainly I couldn’t remember even the characters took part in the previous chapters.(Well,Don’t expect to find any life-like characters here) So Then I came to a decision. I decided to actually know first, about the various unheard or the usually weirdest things of his books, which were the most imperative parts of the story. Such as “The Hand of Mysteries”, “The George Washington Statue” and the other foremost one,” Apotheosis_of_George_Washington”. So, I got the pictures from the net and so then I could understand at least some thing about what’s actually going on.

All These Efforts are actually to know “THE LOST SYMBOL. Unlike his previous books, he failed to pick up the pace ,till the end, not even a single breath taking chapter( as there was plenty of such chapters in the book, THE DIGITAL FORTRESS) and it’s really sad that there was not much codes to decrypt either---no new character development, no big surprises in plot trajectory. Keeping all these depressing stories apart, I was really impatient to know the lost symbol, for which I was travelling with the whole book ,all along. BUT I WAS REALLY SHOCKED AND FRUSTRATED TO KNOW “IT” AT THE END.

I mean, the End is not convincing in any way. It was truly hard for me accept “it” as the lost symbol. Well If you wanna know the “IT”, then you have to read the book. The book becomes tedious when it strays from plot and tries to make profound points.But, you can surely love it for LANGDON and his always correct SENSE of revealing the truth. Neither of the other things was there, that you can truly love this book.


IN A NUTSHELL--- "THE LOST SYMBOL" is really LOST...
