“Impossible to put down.” —The New York Times

“Thrilling and entertaining, like the experience on a roller coaster.” —Los Angeles Times

Famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected summons to deliver a lecture at the U.S. Capitol Building. His plans are interrupted when a disturbing object—artfully encoded with five symbols—is discovered in the building. Langdon recognizes in the find an ancient invitation into a lost world of esoteric, potentially dangerous wisdom.

When his mentor, Peter Solomon—a long-standing Mason and beloved philanthropist—is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that the only way to save Solomon is to accept the mystical invitation and plunge headlong into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and one inconceivable truth . . . all under the watchful eye of a terrifying enemy.

Great performance, poor syncing qualities

Where does The Lost Symbol rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Great book, not one of Dan Brown's best novels, but overall very enjoyable.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Paul Michael?

The narrator did a great job of performing the different voices in the book/novel version. I would highly recommend him as a narrator. I liked his rendition of Sato compared to Catherine compared to Robert. Even though it was one person narrating, you really felt like it was different characters because of the variety of the narrator's voice.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. I broke it out into increments. But, it is the type of book that you want to go back to reading/listening.

Any additional comments?

There was a day lag in terms of syncing. It would generally take one or two days for my Kindle version to catch up with my iPhone narration version. So, if I was reading the book, then it would sync automatically with my iPhone or Audible file. However, if I was listening to the book, then it would take one or two days to sync with my Kindle reading version. Sometimes, I had to update the chapters manually.

Great

All I have to say is great. If you don't understand this book, then read again until you do.

Second times the charm

first try at this i was far too distracted to enjoy it. second time i found it a good listen.

great Robert Langdon mystery

I enjoyed it very much. I started reading years ago and lost my copy. I finally finished am glad I did!

SUPER DUPER STORY AND NARRATION

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, family and/or friends. It's just a great over-all thriller.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It kept me on edge; I could have stayed up all night (first book I have ever kept me wanting to hear the next part. GREAT!

Have you listened to any of Paul Michael’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I've never heard Paul Michael until this time. I KNOW I'll look for his name whenever I buy another book. He's really GREAT.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No. I was very smoothly done throughout.

Any additional comments?

I sure hope that I'll hear more Paul Michael in the future. Dan Brown will be on my top 10 list to read more of his works.

Less violent and thrilling

If you want to listen to an audio book that is less violent, thrilling, and scary than Dan Brown's other books, this audio book is the one I would recommend to you. I am not saying that Dan Brown has lost all his writing magic, but I am saying that Dan Brown has changed his style of writing. Although you could expect the whold story just by listening the first part, the story was very good.
