Dan's worst book to date - By: B. Barlow, 17 Mar 2010 
I found this to be Dan Browns worst book to date. That doesn't mean its bad though but the hype meant that it was always going to be a disappointment & that it was. A good story overalll but too far fetched for even Dan Brown.
Stay away! - By: Magnus Olsen, 14 Mar 2010 
I've read alll of Dan Brown's other books, & have mostly enjoyed them. This one may be the last I waste time on, though. The "big revelation" & climax of the book is nothing less than the worst insult a novelist can give a reader. A massive, unintelligent disappointment. What a let-down...

Extremely predictable - By: Laurentius, 11 Mar 2010 
Whether you see Dan Brown as a good or bad writer, I've found his books to be typical page turners. The Lost Symbol is not. I used a lost more time to read this book that what I normallly would. It just got boring.
Biggest issue: Predictable. The second the idea of where the lost word (symbol) was presented, I knew exactly where it was, within no time I knew the twist regarding the bad guy, & as you understand the idea behind the Ancient Mysteries in the book, you also understand right away that the ending is going to be a let down. I believe most people reading The Lost Symbol will feel the same way. I'm glad I borrowed this book & saved my money.
So dull - By: DP, 11 Mar 2010 I quite enjoyed 'The Da Vinci Code" & "Angels & Demons", so I was quite excited to read the third book in the series.
However, it was extremely dull & became quite a chore to finish.
You do not sympathise with any of the characters whatsoever. In fact you are more likely to wish that the villan would come out on top, at least that would make things interesting.
Dan Browne has concentrated far too much on facts & figures, that end up becoming awfully tedious, & you end up feeling that you would have been better off reading an encyclopedia.
I suspect that, as can sometimes happen after an author becomes succesful, that Dan Browne has been a little lazy with this Novel.
I hate to be so negatvie, as I reallly do enjoy most books I read, but this book was reallly bad.
