An intriguing story by Dan Brown. They said America was known and in-fact now to as a land f opportunity, a land of scientific belief but after reading the series of Mr Brown’s novels, one can say that America is also a land of mysteries, secrets and random theories. THE LOST SYMBOL, an interesting story. A story full of gyan about American  heroes and American buildings. Main architecture of this story is quite like the one which we have seen in Dan brown’s other stories. Main ingredient: a theory , professor Langdon, CIA/Government agency and a lunatic. 

First scene too is quite predictable, a dark room full of strange looking peoples. A ceremony is about to conclude, a man is sitting in centre with a skull full of red liquid. Red liquid is not a blood, its just a symbolic of it. All these people are performing masonry ceremony to upgrade one of their brother.

TAKE AWAY FROM BOOK:

All forefathers of Morden America were mason’s inclusive of Father of nation.

Mr Brown has a set of way to tell a story, his plot is quite predictable. His characters are predictable. His story to roam around same boundary. A professor, who is in trouble because of his knowledge, a rich and famous man in trouble because of some secrets , Rich man’s daughter or sister who to get enrolled because of blood relation. Professor and lady will lead the pack, will try to solve the problem while government agencies are behind them and murderer is ahead of them. Few explosions, some theories and finally happy ending.

My god …Mr Brown ..we need something new. Please…Please …i will rate other books of him better than this one….by the way the secret hidden under Washington DC was a word the BIBLE .

Praise the GOD…………lets hope Mr TOM HANKS will bring this book in better taste on big screen.
