The Lost Symbol

So what can we say about Dan Brown's latest best-seller, "The Lost Symbol"?

It's readable, interesting in parts and... and...

...and what?

Whatever it had there was always something missing, the sense of wonder I got when I read, and re-read, The Da Vinci Code.

It is a pale shadow, a weak echo, of The Da Vinci Code. It had some nice moments but IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE.
