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.
I don't go through books to nitpick them but the errors, almost from the beginning of The Lost Symbol, kept distracting me. This only compounded the problems with the plot and characters. You did well to abandon the book.

I'll share the big secret, as I remember it:
Spoiler:
Humanity has great untapped potential that the powers that be want to keep a secret.


What's that saying about a book you can't stand to finish? Something about seven deadly words?
