Another mind-blowing Robert Langdon story.” —The New York TimesFamed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected summons to appear at the U.S. Capitol Building. His plans are interrupted when a disturbing object—artfully encoded with five symbols—is discovered in the building. Langdon recognizes in the find an ancient invitation into a lost world of esoteric, potentially dangerous wisdom. When his mentor Peter Solomon—a long-standing Mason and beloved philanthropist—is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that the only way to save Solomon is to accept the mystical invitation and plunge headlong into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and one inconceivable truth ... all under the watchful eye of Dan Brown's most terrifying villain to date.

"i genuinely do not care how historically accurate anything in this book is. i just love how national treasure-y it is and this book is the reason why i have the whole set. and i might have to confess The Lost Symbol was half of the reason why i wanted to go to DC for my birthday. anyway, really good and its kinda addicting, might reread it again"

"It was really interesting and suspenseful, I could not put this book down! The only thing I didn't like is the ending because I didn't understand it."

"My all time # 1 fave book is Angels and Demons, followed by The DaVinci Code. Dan Brien writes a GREAT BOOK. "

"Awful plot. 25 chapters in and they're STILL at the same location staring at the SAME evidence. This was a disappointment. The other Robert Langdon books are *chef's kiss*."

"So, I'm seeing some bad reviews on this one. I, on the other hand, really enjoyed this one. I really like Dan Brown's style. I even enjoy the familiar theme of secret codes and the fate of our future being held in our past. I think that's why this one appealed to me so much, because he brings that formula to America. I think it's great to show that we might have just as many secrets and truths hidden right here at home. I also read this book in 4 days, which is pretty unheard of for me. I really enjoyed it."

"The key to enjoying a Dan Brown book is making sure your expectations are set correctly. Don't think too hard and ignore the occasional condescending tone, and it's actually pretty fun. This one is about America's Masonic forefathers and some fake science mumbo jumbo about brain power and ancient mysticism. I'm beginning to think I could write a Dan Brown novel. Here are the critical ingredients:<br/><br/>1) Female genius sidekick / love interest<br/>2) Some hokey science that aforementioned female genius specializes in<br/>3) Some physically imposing fringe religious guy about to destroy the world<br/>4) Choose some high profile religious thing and dig into a bunch of conspiracy theories<br/>5) Pick a fun city with a lot of history and interesting architecture as the setting<br/>6) PROFIT!!!"

"Book 28 of 52 for 2024<br/><br/>I read Brown’s “The DaVinci Code” & “Angels & Demons” and absolutely loved those two books. As I was reading this one, I remembered how much I enjoy his writing. However, by the end of it, I was just wanting it all to be over. I do like his style but of the 3 books I’ve read of his, they all follow almost the exact formula. While I can appreciate it, it starts to feel a bit redundant & like just the same story but with names changed & a few new “hidden secrets”/conspiracy theories thrown in. While I loved his other books & did enjoy this one, I am trying to be more strict with how many stars I hand out & so I can’t give this one more than 3 stars."
