_The Lost Symbol_

The past few books I’ve read have been read on my iPhone through an application called Stanza. It’s really great for traveling because I don’t need to pack a bunch of heavy books – with weight and luggage being such an issue these days – and it’s convenient when I have to wait in lines at the doctor’s, car wash, wherever! However, I did find when reading this book that I missed the ability to turn a page quickly as I read it leisure in bed on the weekends.
Like the other Robert Langdon-based books, Dan Brown does a decent enough job of creating suspense and creating a viable historical mystery. However, I found the explanations a bit cumbersome to get through and a bit too preachy as the ending started to become clear. Also, sadly, I was able to figure out the ending before I got there and that for me is always a bit of a downer in any mystery novel.
Still, I did enjoy it and would recommend it as an enjoyable book to get through while traveling. 😀

More books to come…
