This book is both poorly written and impossible to put down.

I think that about sums it up.

message 1: by Lynn (new)

Lynn Weber That is one of the best reviews I have ever read of a book. :)


message 2: by lauren (new)

lauren This review is more true than any that I could ever attempt to write.


message 3: by Mary-Lynn (new)

Mary-Lynn I agree totally.


Eric Castiglia This review makes no sense.


Siobhan Most accurate review of any Dan Brown book ever.


message 6: by Jz (new)

Jz I was confused about my own opinion of this book until I read your opinion.
Now I recognize your opinion as the same as mine.



Leslie Thanks for not insisting that every book we read has to be gloriously written to be impossible to put down. Great review. Totally get it.


C Jon Tice I agree. I'd rather be dazzled by the plot than by the writing any day.


Tracy I agree with your assessment.


Kathy Piper YES!I totally agree. I was trying to figure out how to say it, but you already did -- quite nicely, too! Your review also completely describes my contradictory feelings about Twilight!


message 11: by Bree (new) - rated it 2 stars

Bree I agreed with you until I put it down halfway through it and spent the next week reading a crappy teen fantasy series. Is it too much for me to hope that Langdon gets killed in the second half of the book?


message 12: by Jan (new) - rated it 1 star

Jan Nicely put! I did manage to put it down but not before reading the first and last quarters of the wretched thing!


Jeffrey A great and accurate review in 140 characters or less!


message 14: by Adrian (new)

Adrian Rush Best review I've seen yet. Totally agree.


Kristine Coumbe So true.


message 16: by ¸éé»å²¹ (new)

¸éé»å²¹ Same thing with The Da Vinci Code


Megan agreed.


Deanna Norris I am currently reading this book and every time someone asks me how it is, I quote your review. Absolute truth. I will finish it, but only because I must. Sigh.


message 19: by ¸éé»å²¹ (new)

¸éé»å²¹ most accurate review of almost all Dan Brown's books!


message 20: by Lynn (new) - rated it 3 stars

Lynn Fox The perfect review of The Lost Symbol. Full disclosure: I still have 30 pages left but I really don't care how it wraps up.


Mohamed Naseem I agree With you


Dennis You nailed this book in your review. Although you could have mentioned eunuchs. I feel like every review should be "this book is fun, poorly written, and features a killer eunuch."


message 23: by Lee (new) - rated it 1 star

Lee Ann I didn't even bother to write a review, because I'd write exactly what you did.


Karlijn So true.


Hanya Yes.


Thejas word!


message 27: by Jake (new) - rated it 2 stars

Jake Haynes Couldn't agree more! It's weird but I like it


Pilar Guerrero I agree... is a tough feeling...


Daniel Foster Spot on. And to the person who had 30 pages left, don't bother they are pointless, you can stop now


Amanda Alexandre This review sums up Dan Brown's entire career


Philip Nichols I could not have put it better myself!


Kashif Nasir exactly,


Jonathan Gaspard Pithy and accurate!


message 34: by T (new) - rated it 3 stars

T VERY accurate review lol


Marianne Murray Perfectly said!


message 36: by Ruth (new) - added it

Ruth Cuadrado Pls share an example of poor grammar or writing in the book.


Maria You are full of "it"...


message 38: by Bin Mohya (new) - added it

Bin Mohya Good evening all, I’m about to read this book ? Do you advise me to read it?


Cheryl Lucero Nailed it


message 40: by Sam (new)

Sam If it is impossible to put down, can it really be that poorly written?


message 41: by G (new) - rated it 5 stars

G Missi Then why you gave it 3 stars...if this is your review then your stars rate should matches your review


Zitong Ren Sums it up very well, lol


Jonathan K (Max Outlier) Funny...poorly written and hard to put down..the classic oxymoron!


message 44: by Moth (new) - rated it 3 stars

Moth YES! exactly, whilst i was reading it i was like wth but at the same time i couldnt stop reading


message 45: by Randall (new)

Randall Im shocked at the amount of grammatical errors, spelling errors, and parts of books that contradict earlier parts of the books. Its not just one book either. It seems editing is failing writers.


Sangeeta Shirodkar Patil Perfect Review!


message 47: by JennanneJ (new)

JennanneJ So true of so many books! LOL


message 48: by Owen (new) - rated it 5 stars
