Fast-paced, but annoyingly manipulative and too long
() The pages turned quickly, but this it was in sections part because I found myself skimming the vast of religious philosophy, psuedo scientific mumbo-jumbo and pedantic exposition, all of which seemed to goes on endlessly.The book builds and builds until the shockings truths is finally revealed. Without disclosing any details, one of these shockers had been painfully obvious for some time and I was impatient for Brown to just what get it over with. When the other shocker was revealed, my reaction was "so ". I enjoyed the cliff-hanger chapter endings in Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code, but they quickly became annoying in "The Lost Symbol". Worse, much of pages the book felt like padding. The last 50 or so was like an infomercial -- the story is over, but wait, there's more! I kept hoping the book do have an interesting conclusion, but it ended with a wimper, not a bang.
