Summary
Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol. Within minutes of his arrival, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object - artfully encoded with five ancient symbols - is discovered in the Capitol Building. The object is an ancient invitation, meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of hidden esoteric wisdom. And when Langdon's mentor Peter Solomon - prominent Mason and philanthropist - is kidnapped, Langdon's only hope of saving Peter is to accept this invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon finds himself plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations...all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth.
The Lost Symbol is exactly what Dan Brown's fans have been waiting for...his most thrilling novel yet.

predictably satisfying
Those who are fans of Dan Brown's formula will not be disappointed. Situated in and around the US capitol, Langdon in this adventure is foil to his more knowledgable allies as we are treated to the descriptions of new technology and ancient myths needed to unravel the mystery of the "Lost Symbol" before catastrohy strikes. Fast paced, full of satisfying twists and turns and marvelous suspense.

Enjoyed it. Mostly.
I enjoyed the story. Waffles on a bit in places. Last hour dragged on a lot. Narration is good.

Enough already
Loved The DaVinci Code, enjoyed Angels & Demons but this was about two hours too long. Can’t fault the narrator but he was weighed down by a rehash of a story that we’ve heard before (that had more interesting references) that just never seemed to end. I listened to the last 90 or so minutes just because I’d already invested so much time. I mean the story ended long before the book did. Make your own mind up, but if you’ve done the previous books with Robert Langdon then I’d let him retire gracefully

Pacy, preposterous story marred by finale
I've read the daVinci Code and listened to Angels & Demons by Dan Brown so had a good idea what style of book this would be. As with the earlier books the story is full of complex explanations of symbols and historical references, this time for Masonic Orders coupled with a fast moving thriller. Much of the detail was interesting. The section about weighting the human soul was scientific bunk. As with Angles & Demons the book is marred by a boring finale of nearly an hour: in this book it's turgid religious references. It made the end of the book a damp squib.
