内容説明
In this stunning follow-up to the global phenomenon The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown demonstrates once again why he is the world’s most popular thriller writer. The Lost Symbol is 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 Symbol accelerates 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 in The Da Vinci Code and Angels & 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 Lost Symbol is exactly what Brown’s fans have been waiting for . . . his most thrilling novel yet.

: Christina DiPaolo Frenchtown, NJ - 2010年7月30日And Three is Not a Charm....
...for Dan Brown. In his third novel surrounding Robert Langdon, I felt so lost and confused reading the first 20 chapters. There was too much going on and so it wasn't suspenseful enough for me. A very disappointing turn out for me. I would not even try to read it if I were you.
: Cheryl Wedesweiler So. Cal. - 2010年7月28日The first part was really good, the last 50 pages was too much!!
The author has a writing style that is easy-going and a pleasure to read. He explains things thoroughly and clearly.
I enjoy books that are written among facts and this book was filled with information: architectural, historical, biblical, and scientific. I learned a lot from this book as well as being entertain by a thrilling story.
I have never NOT read another of Dan Brown's works, so there was no need for comparison. This book was such a winner that I do plan to read more books by this author.
The last 50+ pages were interesting with their historical information, but the main story was over and the last pages were unnecessary. Basically, the extra historical information seemed forced down the reader's throat. The survivors should have gone to the emergency room. No matter how much money the characters have they are still susceptible to infections and other medical issues. They just went on with their lives-HUH? No way-the book should have ended after the main story came to an end. I read a book years ago How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie which said that when you say what you need to say-then sit down. For writing: when you tell the story that you have said that you would tell-then back away from the word processor, notepad, etc.
I am the author of Dreams in August: Life, Love, and Cerebellar Ataxia and Summer Born: A Life With Cerebellar Ataxia. Over 150,000 people in the US, as well as many people around the world, have a form of ataxia, a neurological disorder that progressively impairs coordination.
: Solitude1984 Canada - 2010年7月28日Horrible, horrible, horrible!!!
One of the worst books I have ever read, and that's saying a lot. DVC and A&D were pretty good books for their genre, but the utter stupidity of this one just blew me away. What a waste of time and money! It dragged on forever ... there were moments I wanted to literally pull my hair out because the scene just dragged on and on, with no real purpose. This will certainly be the last book I read by Dan Brown.

It might not be fair that I gave this only 3 stars. But, I thought I was ordering a hard cover edition and was disappointed that it was paperback. I didn't return it because I was so anxious to read the book. I would just warn others to be more aware than I was.
: R. Patel Salt Lake City, UT - 2010年7月27日I just Threw Away 6 Months of My Life to this Book
***SOME SPOILERS***
This third installment of the Angels and Demons/Da Vinci Code series was a total flop! It took me 6 months to get through it. The story line didn't pick up until it was almost over, I was almost relieved when they killed Robert Langdon and then ruined it again when they brought him back to life.
Throughout the entire book Robert Langdon annoyed me, he was consistently boring throughout the book. He was still intelligent, but that was about it. He didn't do anything special, he didn't seem very involved in the story in the first place, and was very naive, closed-minded and didn't have any street smarts for a lot of the book, overall...I wanted him to die. Of course, once he did die, I was a little relieved that he was finally gone, but then the way that he was brought back to life was even almost like the author thought better of killing him off. Overall, he had no character growth whatsoever and if anything lost some of his character from the original two books.
The main character was not the only issue with the book...I felt like Dan Brown was having difficulty filling pages, so he decided to add as much random historical detail and scientific information as possible. Now, granted, in the first two books I really enjoyed that aspect, but in this one it was choppy and poorly done ---basically like the author was reading fan reviews, found out that we like to read about the historical and scientific details, and decided to add as much meaningless BS to the story as possible. The paragraphs came off as rambling, it was absurd.
When I was about half way through the book, I kept thinking that it would pick up. In reality, the action was already moving and I just could not get involved with the story line. The chapters were not enjoyable to process, they seemed to be all over the place which made it increasingly difficult to become involved in the story. Then at the end of the book, it happened all over again. The book was over, but then there were 2 more chapters to finish. It was driving me crazy that this book would not end.
Let's just say that this book was a 100% disappointment and I will not be reading anything from Dan Brown again.
