Readers Beware May Contain Some very Small Spoilers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had never read any of Browns books but after I got my Kindle I bought The Davinci Code, Angels and Demons and The Lost Symbol. I was impressed by his writing style and enjoyed the first 2. Having watched the movies first I already knew the outcome but was entertained to the end of both of them to the very end.

I anxiously read Symbol and was excited to NOT know the outcome. It is pretty exciting and the level of detail, planning and thought that went into the book is amazing. There is one big plot twist revealed near the end that I never saw coming!

However as the villain is disposed of at the end and the story winds down I was disappointed that the "secret" was pretty lame. Not even a little teaser to make you wonder if there was MORE to the solution like a description of a small symbol under the spiral staircase that matched the books prime "object" sought after during the entire book possible leading to another level beneath it.

Compared to his other 2 books the ending was extremely weak. I had hoped for at least a mystery to remain or something outlandish to happen but it didn't. I was very disappointed.

If you read the book what do you think?
