(Lost Symbol)

『Great book, It was not as good as Angels and Demons, or the Danvi Code but a good read』

(Entertaining Read)

『The book follows his previous work in that it provides interesting factual information weaved into the story. The result is a book that is a page turner and you are rewarded with a few bits of knowledge that you get to keep. The only criticism I would have is that the story ended about 100 pages before the book did. The last part could have been left out of the story entirely or included in an epilogue for those who would be interested in a few more interesting factoids and philosophical ideas. So far Dan has used the his knowledge and imagination about the masons and the templars to write two wonderful books, I look forward to any future books... maybe involving the Sumarian's? or other ancient civilization as a natural progression to his writing style and interest.』

(sorry, but this is not a good book in any way at all)

『i loved da vinci code, but this is an attempt to rekindle that fire, and what it ends up with is a bunch of smoke and mirrors. once that part clears up you're at the end of the book, praying for some sense of recovery, but noooooo. it ends just as bad. i'm a very positive person, and usually find the good in most things. there's very little of that here.』

(The Lost Symbol is a great read.)

『Wow. Dan Brown just keeps getting better. There were a couple of times I was absolutely shocked with what he had written. I couldn't imagine where he would go next, but he pulled it off brilliantly.

What I especially liked about this book was the fact it was based in D.C. So when I visit there I can actually go see some of the artwork and statuary he was refereing to. Although the Da Vinci code was great, I don't expect to ever get to those landmarks in France that he talked about.

The background on the Mason's was fascinating too. Don't know how accurate his explanations are, but I'll bet the basics are pretty close, although I imagine the biggest secrets are not quite as he explained it.

Great read though. I sure enjoyed it.』

(What the heck just happened?)

『The book started off and read through as what I expected from Brown's two most recent novels, but the ending... such a cop out. I wouldn't recommend it as it was not worth the effort when all is said and done. Brown rode on the coat tails of his earlier work. I felt tricked and played.』
『In this stunning follow-up to the global phenomenonThe Da Vinci Code,Dan Brown demonstrates once again why he is the world's most popular thriller writer.The Lost Symbolis a masterstroke of storytelling—a deadly race through a real-world labyrinth of codes, secrets, and unseen truths . . . all under the watchful eye of Brown's most terrifying villain to date. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C.,The Lost Symbolaccelerates through a startling landscape toward an unthinkable finale.

As the story opens, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building. Within minutes of his arrival, however, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object—artfully encoded with five symbols—is discovered in the Capitol Building. Langdon recognizes the object as an ancient invitation . . . one meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom.

When Langdon's beloved mentor, Peter Solomon—a prominent Mason and philanthropist —is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is instantly 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.

As the world discovered inThe Da Vinci CodeandAngels&Demons, Dan Brown's novels are brilliant tapestries of veiled histories, arcane symbols, and enigmatic codes. In this new novel, he again challenges readers with an intelligent, lightning-paced story that offers surprises at every turn.The LostSymbol is exactly what Brown's fans have been waiting for . . . his most thrilling novel yet.

From the Hardcover edition.』
『Let's start with the question every Dan Brown fan wants answered: IsThe Lost Symbolas good asThe Da Vinci Code? Simply put, yes. Brown has mastered the art of blending nail-biting suspense with random arcana (from pop science to religion), andThe Lost Symbolis an enthralling mix. And what a dazzling accomplishment that is, considering that rabid fans and skeptics alike are scrutinizing every word.

The Lost Symbolbegins with an ancient ritual, a shadowy enclave, and of course, a secret. Readers know they are in Dan Brown territory when, by the end of the first chapter, a secret within a secret is revealed. To tell too much would ruin the fun of reading this delicious thriller, so you will find no spoilers here. Suffice it to say that as with many series featuring a recurring character, there is a bit of a formula at work (one that fans will love). Again, brilliant Harvard professor Robert Langdon finds himself in a predicament that requires his vast knowledge of symbology and superior problem-solving skills to save the day. The setting, unlike other Robert Langdon novels, is stateside, and in Brown's hands Washington D.C. is as fascinating as Paris or Vatican City (note to the D.C. tourism board: get your "Lost Symbol" tour in order). And, as with other Dan Brown books, the pace is relentless, the revelations many, and there is an endless parade of intriguing factoids that will make you feel like you are spending the afternoon with Robert Langdon and the guys fromMythbusters.

Nothing is as it seems in a Robert Langdon novel, andThe Lost Symbolitself is no exception--a page-turner to be sure, but Brown also challenges his fans to open their minds to new information. Skeptical? Imagine how many other thrillers would spawn millions of Google searches for noetic science, superstring theory, andApotheosis of Washington.The Lost Symbolis brain candy of the best sort--just make sure to set aside time to enjoy your meal.--Daphne Durham

(I pulled a Palin and quit, quit reading this book...)

『I'm a republican who regretfully gave Palin, her book, a chance. Bad idea, I'll never get those moments back. After about 30 minutes, it just dawned on me: Why am I reading this book? Palin's not particularly intelligent-she's not a theologian, philosopher, professor, lawyer, doctor, or any other sort of professional that may have something worthwhile to share-and she hasn't really accomplished much. She obviously can't manage her own family much less a state, heck she even quit as governor! Why? It's clear: to make money writing poorly written books. (I know, I know, she left Alaska for Alaska, but if she was truly interested in Alaska's best interests, don't you think that she'd be serving Alaska's causes instead of writing books and traveling around America and around the world giving speeches behind closed doors?). This book is boring reality t.v. on paper and it's amazing that it appeals to so many (scary world we live in).』

(A well written book that will let you get to know Sarah Palin)

『The invective abuse directed at Sarah Palin says much about her progressive detractors and their fear of her, but very little about who she really is. This book is a well written autobiography. It serves its purpose in letting the reader get to know the author. There is no overwrought creation myth as there is with Obama. Sarah's is a very normal small town American story. Her values are quite mainstream. What is extraordinary is her willingness to take on the progressive elite that has come to dominate the so called mainstream media, our elite universities, most non-profit institutions and now our Federal government. I respect her for that.

Critics have complained that the book has petty criticism aimed at her detractors. First, that is a fairly minor part of the book that appears in context as the story is told. Second, her need to tell her side of the story is perfectly legitimate. Third, the fact that her detractors have so little to go on that they focus on petty criticism is what creates the need to respond in the first place. I don't see that she inappropriately dwells on things like "Troopergate" in the book.

The 11 AP reporters assigned to fact check this book are another reflection on her detractors. Eleven reporters basically came up with nothing of substance, yet wrote news articles about it. In contrast there is virtually no press criticism/analysis of Obama's "Dreams" autobiography. Joseph Farah has convincingly documented a long list of misrepresentations and outright falsehoods in Obama's book. Christopher Anderson and Jack Cashill have produced considerable evidence that the terrorist Bill Ayers actually ghost wrote much of the "Dreams" book. Yet the AP and other news organizations uncritically fawn over Obama's book, some going so far as to claim he is one of the best writers to ever occupy the oval office. This despite no evidence before or since the book that Obama is anything more than a mediocre writer.

This book is really only the beginning of a story. I hope to hear much more in the future.』

(Credit where credit is due)

『Sarah Palin has at least one thing in common with Hilary Clinton besides gender. Neither of them is willing to credit their ghostwriter. I am certain that Sarah Palin herself had a great deal of hands on imput as to the structure as well as the content of this book, but the actual author is a woman named Lynn Vincent. Politicians are busy people, and I quite understand that they may need help in order to bring a book to fruition. But I distrust anyone who will not acknowledge that they have not produced a piece of work that they sign their name to.
That said, the writing is better than many bios that are produced quickly in the 'as told to' tradition. I dock it two stars for not having an index, another major point of annoyance.』

(Horrific on every level)

『The paper upon which this drivel is printed is worth more than the words themselves. What you'll find here is a self-promoting narcissist with no understanding of how government actually works. Save yourself precious time and money and stay away!! There's nothing to be gained by indulging this woman.』

(Excellent Read)

『From a very real person. A fantastic read from an extra ordinary human being. Will make an excellent world leader.』
『

One year ago, Sarah Palin burst onto the national political stage like a comet. Yet even now, few Americans know who this remarkable woman really is.

On September 3, 2008 Alaska Governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention that electrified the nation and instantly made her one of the most recognizable women in the world.

As chief executive of America's largest state, she had built a record as a reformer who cast aside politics-as-usual and pushed through changes other politicians only talked about: Energy independence. Ethics reform. And the biggest private sector infrastructure project in U.S. history. And while revitalizing public school funding and ensuring the state met its responsibilities to seniors and Alaska Native populations, Palin also beat the political "good ol' boys club" at their own game and brought Big Oil to heel.

Like her GOP running mate, John McCain, Palin wasn't a packaged and over-produced candidate. She was a Main Street American woman: a working mom, wife of a blue collar union man, and mother of five children, the eldest of whom was serving his country in a yearlong deployment in Iraq and the youngest, an infant with special needs. Palin's hometown story touched a populist nerve, rallying hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans to the GOP ticket.

But as the campaign unfolded, Palin became a lightning rod for both praise and criticism. Supporters called her "refreshing" and "honest," a kitchen-table public servant they felt would fight for their interests. Opponents derided her as a wide-eyed Pollyanna unprepared for national leadership. But none of them knew the real Sarah Palin.

In this eagerly anticipated memoir, Palin paints an intimate portrait of growing up in the wilds of Alaska; meeting her lifelong love; her decision to enter politics; the importance of faith and family; and the unique joys and trials of life as a high-profile working mother. She also opens up for the first time about the 2008 presidential race, providing a rare, mom's-eye view of high-stakes national politics—from patriots dedicated to "Country First" to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost.

Going Roguetraces one ordinary citizen's extraordinary journey and imparts Palin's vision of a way forward for America and her unfailing hope in the greatest nation on earth.
