Yesterday, I finished the Book of one of my favorite author, Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol. I Started as soon as I bought this in the Platform no. 9B just before boarding to my train, and it is worth reading ! It is truly unputdownable.
In “The Lost Symbol”, Dan Brown takes his “symbologist” non-hero Robert Langdon on a high-speed twelve-hour tour around Washington DC. Broadly speaking, it’s like riding pillion on a jetbike driven by a historian screaming conspiratorial travelogue descriptions into your ears like a cricket commentary.
Actually, I think Langdon’s key attribute (his tremendous memory), which is the best thing that Brown created – an historical memory robot able to dredge up every wonky numerological / etymological / mythological fantasy ever imagined, while remaining indifferent to all of them. Even though at one point Brown has a brief chuckle at the Wiki-likes learning of modern students, Langdon himself functions as nothing more complex than a disbelieving walking Wikipedia.
Unfortunately… given how bad a film that first book got turned into, I truly worried at the thought of how bad a film ”The Lost Symbol” promises to be.
