The Lost Symbol (Robert Langdon, Volume 3) (Paperback)

Customer Review

Should it happen to you as if I was talking a bit about the hot case around - then that's that. I take this review like to say as accurately as possible, what I feel like why, but without too much revealing of the action: this review is so spoiler-free.
What is at stake in the story, explains the product description, here it's all about the vote.
The Lost Symbol can not keep up with its predecessors in my opinion. Maybe it's because that Langdon's approach to its "cases" that is exactly what makes the books. And that attracts in book three no more behind the stove before. Everything ever been there. And on the contrary, his attitude and his sayings often sound yet very thickly applied (example, "I am also a secret organization and knees every seven days on the day of the sun god in an ancient instrument of torture and take blood and human flesh to me" - as. allusion to Christianity and the Lord's Supper, which he shocks his students.). Although this is a, twice really funny, but you will not escape the feeling that Dan Brown frantically tried to act very smart and clever.
Of course, this time again a great mystery that needs to ventilate it. What's annoying, the repetitive dialogue between Langdon and pretty much all the other characters of the book: "There is a Geheimnnis, Mr Langdon" - "No, there is not" - "Because secret exists, Mr Langdon" - "No, it's a myth "-" There is this secret really, Mr Langdon "-" No, there is not "etc etc pp. In any Kaptiel where Langdon plays along there such a dialogue and for a third of the book is still white as much as at the beginning. Boring! During one still has merged Puzzlteile piece by piece in Davinci Code and Angels & Demons, is all the time the same persuaded in The Lost Symbol to relatively quickly come then towards the end of the book to enlightenment.
What I find hardest, however, is the logic of the main characters, the sacrifices Dan Brown for the approach below the plots. So let's say that we are scientists who do research on such a secret project that we are working in a hermetically sealed, independent of the current constriction Verso, secret laboratory. We have so much fear that our project gets to the public that we do not even use our cell phones when we are working, for fear that someone might find out something about our results ANYWAY. Would you now someone who auftauch suddenly hearsay in their lives, running them only indirectly on highly conspicuous manner on the way, just so - because he give curious actual access to this lab? No? Neither do I. But the female person already. But perhaps the laboratory was also not sooooo great because finally they had no money for night vision more to orient themselves in the football field-long corridor that leads to our secret laboratory. We prefer to run always have three minutes through absolute darkness - after all that's exciting, wennd the villain comes.
Revealing phones can even turn off by it flips open and reveals through the light - just rauszunemhmen the battery are of course does not come to mind.
Speaking of - even the villain is not the smartest. So we want something organic that can not be detected by a metal detector smuggle into the Capitol. How do we do that? OF COURSE! By anything metallic (a ring), we could carry on our hand also easy to let in the container that we smuggle - of which we really do not want that it draws attention to itself - for example, because the Metaldeektor sounds the alarm , due to said ring.
The logic is therefore incorrect on front and back. And that comes from me - I am usually someone who inconsistencies also accepts times and "drops" in a book. Still, I had to constantly shake their heads here.
Positive should be mentioned that one rumkriegt almost 20h read time quite well and talk this feels when you sometimes need zudrüken both eyes. And that's the main thing for me. Therefore, three well-intentioned star. Five are abe it the best will not - because excellent is not this book. Fabulous views makes it I think quite well
