So, I started The Lost Symbol on Saturday and by Wednesday I was a little more than half way through. Well, I am an easy target for Dan Brown's books apparently because I got home Wednesday and got in bed and read for the entire night until I was finished. I would say it was at least 200 pages. Needless to say, I was not as bored with it as Grama was. I do think he did a lot of historical explanations, even more than usual. So it seemed to drag on at points. But I'm a sucker for the way he sets up the chapters so you're left with a cliffhanger at almost every turn. It sucks me right in, just as it is intended to. The story is set in Washington, DC, based around Masonic tradition and involves the CIA and the relationship between science and religion. It definitely took a more religious turn in the end than I would have expected. I wouldn't say it lives up to The Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons but I still enjoyed it.
Well, I got through that so fast, I didn't even think about what would be next. It's a gloomy, rainy day today and I had nothing so I caught Paige before she went to work and she gave me Breakfast at Tiffany's so I'll give that a go today. It should be another quick one.
