What a delightful little gem of a book! It reminded me a lot of the “No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency” books. Well written and charming, I can't wait to get my hands on number two of the series!
I wish you could give half stars because this really deserves another half star. Dan Brown's Langdon series is one of my all time favorite series. I always feel like I have been taken on a fast paced ride, but also learned a thing or two along the way. This third installment of the series is good, really good, though not quite up there with Angels and Demons, which in my opinion is the best book in the series. I suspect if you are a fan, then you will find yourself enjoying The Lost Symbol. Fingers crossed it doesn't take another 6 years before we see a fourth book...hint hint Mr. Brown. ;D
This book introduced me to a sub-genre of speculative fiction I have never heard of before “steampunk”. Speculative fiction is a genre that I really enjoy so it comes as no surprise that I thought this was a great read! The characters are well written, delightful and wilfully bizarre. There is a certain suspension of disbelief required to appreciate the book but I urge you to give it a go...you won't be disappointed!
