I got a copy of The Lost Symbol a couple of months ago at our public library's used book sale for fifty cents. I can usually suspend disbelief with the factual errors in a book like this if it's a good read, but the characters in this book just didn't feel real to me. About half way through I realized I didn't care what happened and I abandoned it. My TBR list is too long to spend time reading a book I don't care about.
