I am a huge fan of Dan Brown. I have read The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons; they both outstanding books. So, when I heard that he was going to have another book, just as outstanding, I was so excited. It seems to take me forever to get to it because my “to-read” list is VERY long. However, I did make it to it and here are my thoughts:
The beginning was just like the other books. Robert Landon begins a deep and imbedded quest to solve the mystery of his friend, Peter Solomon. Peter is a Freemason and a mentor of Robert’s. The story is station completely in Washington DC. Through all the twist and turns there is one thing that Dan Brown does like no author does: makes history interesting. Throughout Robert’s journey to find Peter alive and well and put the insane kidnapper away, is the history of Washington DC, our founding fathers, a d the Freemasons.
It did take me a few chapters to get into it, but once I did it was a fast read. Please do not be scared off by the size of the book it is worth every page.
