DAN BROWN’S “The Lost Symbol” – A Masterpiece Even Before It Released!

Dan Brown’s latest book “The Lost Symbol” had created an unprecedented pre-orders for the book months in advance and it was bound to create waves since his “The Da Vinci Code” had taken the world by storm propelling it to a place in the all time best list.

This time Dan Brown follows up with “The Lost Symbol”, a thriller that concerns itself with the ‘Freemasons’ a primeval organization. The novel follows Robert Langdon as the protagonist in a bid to save his guru Peter Solomon who has been kidnapped. The thriller manages to hold the reader’s interest in each chapter with his own style of delving deep into the recesses of the human mind that anticipates danger even when there is none. He weaves a tale similar to “The Da Vinci Code” with Robert Langdon’s aide who by now the readers have understood has to be smart and beautiful, but this time the characters are much more real and plausible contexts have been fitted into the heart of the story in 500 pages.

The real winner is the impetus provided by the author, as he just will not let the readers take their eyes of the page. The treatment of occult themes has been dealt in a manner that befits Dan Brown only, in his signature style. The enigmatic portrayal of a world within our very own world is what brown expects us to believe in even though we know it to be a work of fiction. The visual description that Brown excels in, be it Washington city or even the ciphers that are strewn about the novel as reference points for the story to progress, Brown creates a rippling chronicle of deceits and deceptions.

To review it in the context of “The Da Vinci Code” would be an exercise in futility for comparisons are odious to say the least.
