After the other Dan Brown books I have read, this was a little disappointing. Maybe I was expecting a little too much.
It was good very good a real page Turner. Loved it a book you could not put down.
Dan Brown always has good books with Robert Langdon! These books always get pushed up on my list of “To Read” Books every time one comes out and they never disappoint!
Similar to the rest of Dan Brown’s books. This one is set in D.C.
I don’t like to write bad reviews, but this book was so awful (in many ways) that I feel obligated to warn potential reader to approach it with caution.
Brown continues his legendary excursion into inadequately researched topics, relating urban myths as facts and promoting debunked and patently absurd pseudo-science as if it had some basis in …
This is one of the Robert Langdon books.
Read this one a while ago, but remember how it kept me reading to get to the finish line, and how surprised I was on the ending and the relationship of the villain to another character.

Wonderful characters

He needs to resolve them to save people’s lives, whilst being chased himself. This time he receives an early morning call, and is …
Dan Browns book will all ways be well researched and keep you on the edge.
Loved the historical information and the connections to US locations.
I loved this book! This is my Dan Brown book of all the ones I’ve read.
Good read.
Really enjoyed this book, for me, it had a good pace. The story is dark, the bad guy is BAD, and the whole thing has an ever-increasing sinister quality that is almost claustrophobic. There is a wonderfully written chapter in the dark, which is full of suspense. There is a bit of padding that editing could have addressed but on the whole a great …
Entrancing, kept my attention.
Before I knew Dan Brown and the wonders of the esoteric writings of many authors, I read this book. After I read this book my perspective of the world had changed, and I began pursuing occult literature in order to find the mystery within the pages of this astounding book. What this book taught me is that all I need to do, is look toward the …
