The Lost Symbol

What do you get when you cross a bunch of Wiki posts on Freemasonry with Brownism?
- The Lost Symbol

Just finished reading this book.

Dan Brown, author of Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Digital Fortress, and
Deception Point, disappointed me by sending Robert Langdon, Harvard Professor from Department of Symbology - that, by the way, is nonexistent- on a dead-end mission to find something hidden somewhere in Washington, DC, in his new novel - The Lost Symbol

The plot, in addition to being a dead-ended one, is weak and predictable. Much has already been said and written about the Masons and their involvement in events that shaped U.S. history. To date, mishmash of legend and tweaked facts has obscured the reality to such an extent that finding a meaningful conclusion ,even in a fiction book, is as impossible as finding that something hidden somewhere in DC. The reference to Noetic Science feels ad-hoc and is totally uncalled for, so does the involvement of CIA. Readers of Da Vinci and A&D can easily point out that Prof. Langdon is not up to the mark in this novel.
