Dan Brown: "The Lost Symbol"

Another book containing the brilliant professor of religious iconology and symbology Robert Langdon, who is again on a mission to unravel a secret that has been hidden for centuries. This time, the secret revolves around Masonry.
This time though, Langdon has not been called by the authorities to solve the mystery but by the bad guy himself.
After reading the last two Langdon books, I found some of the moves and some of the twists predictable. Many times, I knew what was going to happen before it did. But, I was still hooked till the end because I did not know where the trail would end and what was it that all the clues were pointing to. And in the end, there was one aspect of the novel which truly amused me. I hope it amuses you too.
So, in my opinion, the book is worth reading, because even some things were predictable, there were many things that I learnt about, especially a branch of science I did not know existed but was nevertheless very interesting. If you want to know what it is, you'll have to read it.
