The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

Ok so if you are familiar with Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code (which if you aren't, what's taken you so long to hop on the wagon?), you'll recognize the typical Dan Brownism formula at work here. That said, it was a really entertaining story and I loved the fact that it was on our home soil in our great capitol of Washington, D.C. I think the Robert Langdon character is loveable and believable. Of course then you have the token girl which didn't really go where I thought it would, but oh well. It's fun to have a girl to have along-side you if you're trying to solve a mystery in a limited amount of time!

If you have a long commute I recommend listening to this on CD as the narrator is really good! I believe his name is Paul Michael. He also did the first two so if you need to catch up you'll then become very familiar with his voice too.
