Description

#1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER • An intelligent, lightning-paced thriller set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C., with surprises at every turn.

“Impossible to put down.... Another mind-blowing Robert Langdon story.” —The New York Times

Famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected summons to appear at the U.S. Capitol Building. His plans are interrupted when a disturbing object—artfully encoded with five symbols—is discovered in the building. Langdon recognizes in the find an ancient invitation into a lost world of esoteric, potentially dangerous wisdom.

When his mentor Peter Solomon—a long-standing Mason and beloved philanthropist—is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that the only way to save Solomon is to accept the mystical invitation and plunge headlong into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and one inconceivable truth... all under the watchful eye of Dan Brown's most terrifying villain to date.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"[I]mpossible to put down....Mr. Brown was writing sensational visual scenarios long before his books became movie material. This time he again enlivens his story with amazing imagery....Thanks to him, picture postcards of the capital's most famous monuments will never be the same....In the end it is Mr. Brown's sweet optimism, even more than Langdon's sleuthing and explicating, that may amaze his readers most." ( The New York Times)
"Thrilling, entertaining....Robert Langdon goes for another roller-coaster ride - this time in a hunt for a Masonic treasure in Washington, D.C." ( Los Angeles Times)

A bit of a slog

Narration is pretty good by Paul Michael. They do a good job of characterizing each character. One character in particular however, Director Sato has one of THE most distracting and unpleasant voice to listen to that I have ever encountered in an audiobook. Paul accurately portrays how her character is described but I found it so difficult to listen when the character spoke.

The story itself was just okay, and I didn't find it as compelling as the two previous books, or the one after. Maybe if I was American I would have been more into it since it is a lot of American landmarks and history? Although I'm not European and enjoyed the other books. I found it a bit long at times, and I found the villain to be extremely long-winded and obnoxious.

I also hate Dan Brown's way of describing characters based solely on their weight and attractiveness. So many times it would be "the plump technician called her friend" then "The chubby technician tucked her hair behind her ear" thenr "The obese woman typed quickly into the computer". Why do we need to be reminded every time she is described that she is overweight? Surely there are other physical descriptors, like the ones used for all the attractive, slim and athletic characters....ugh. This is a theme in all his books.

I didn't particularly care about the ending, and more than once thought about just not finishing it because I wasn't interested in what was happening. Not going to re-listen to this one, but if you're interested in the Masons, give it a try.

frustrating book! do not recommend.

The narrator is the best thing about this. not sure why the star rating is so high. The nicest thing I can say about Dan Brown's writing is that he does thriller/adventure story plot pacing well for the most part. we were able to finish this. HOWEVER. The cartoonishly insane villain is easily the most relatable main character, especially as the story goes on and twists are revealed. Robert Langdon is impressively thick headed and arrogant, super annoying. the CIA is totally incompetent, pretty laughable. The Solomons are both incredibly stupid/credulous and (1) a candidate for world's worst parent and (2) a frustrating 2-D example of a stupid/vapid adventure book stereotypical female scientist. The big reveal of what the "good guys" were trying to prevent was a laughable let down after living through a Donald Trump presidency (let's say the bar for politician behavior has changed) and the last hour and a half was a slow and sanctimonious left turn and waste of time - pacing was bad a mystery reveal frustrating. it was the hardest part to get through. thinking about the villain hoodwinking everyone in the beginning makes me chuckle with delight - the "good" characters are almost all unbelievably credulous, selfish, unlikeable, and frustratingly written - you can tell Dan Brown wants you to like them and it's kind of insulting. Bellamy was ok and the priest wasn't bad.

Solid Dan Brown effort

I would have preferred to have a male and female narrator to make it more appealing.

Great book

Hopefully they turn this book into the next movie. So much more than origin. My favourite book so far
