yellowstonegirl Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I just finished The Lost Symbol. It's okay. I could put it down though, which is not to say it's not worth reading, but not as much of a page-turner as The Da Vinci code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missybct Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I am so mixed about Brown. I really disliked TDVC (in fact, I put it down half way through) but really liked the premise and was disappointed with the way it was written. But then I read Angels and Demons in two sittings - OK, so they aren't that well written, but it was engaging if a little unbelievable. I was really disappointed that they didn't keep with the book for the film, though. I may get this when I see it second hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I read Angels and Demons in two sittings - OK, so they aren't that well written, but it was engaging if a little unbelievable. I was actually the opposite. I liked the Da Vinci Code, and read it in a day on the plane. I spotted it in America and it was the new cool thing. As for Angels and Demons, It was Ok. Maybe I did not like the subject matter as much. As for The Lost Symbol. I am taking it with me on Thursday so I hope that it is good. I want to read it more for being able to have an opinion on it, rather than wanting to read the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missybct Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I just found TDVC really hard to get into - but that may have just been me, for I know a lot of my friends really rated it! I may try again another time, but I can't remember where I put my copy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missybct Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I think I had a charity copy after I lent out my original copy, so in theory I've had two copies Maybe R will have a copy, I'm sure my brother will have one if not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiameseCat Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'm quite tempted to read The Lost Symbol. But I'm afraid of reading spoilers here by accident. Would you recommend it? Generally I like to keep things realistic, though a sense of realism isn't the same as realistic. I would settle for the former. I have enjoyed some conspiracy type thrillers by John Grisham and David Baldacci. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
