This is the third book in the Robert Langdon installment (previous books are Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code). I really enjoyed the previous two book in this series, but this book was never quite able to pull me in.
I had a hard time putting down the other two books. Everything about them was simply fascinating to me. The Lost Symbol lacked that. Langdon didn't seem as likeable in this one, and the supporting characters were also devoid of interest.
From reviews I noticed a lot of people didn't like this book due to the content that Dan Brown portrayed as fact in this novel. To them I say - people, this is a book. It is a work of FICTION so although in the story Professor Langdon may say something taken as a fact, that does not mean it's true. Don't take it so seriously.
I found myself finding excuses not to read this book, which is never a good sign. I guess that may be why I have started it at least twice before and never finished it. For me, this chapter of Robert Langdon's life was just okay.
Rating: 2/5
-a book you started but never finished

I almost got the first book when I was at the library, but put it back, realizing I wouldn't like it. But since you gave the other 2 good reviews I might have to try it. Especially if I can fit it into the reading challenge.
