The Lost Symbol - 11/18/09

For November: The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. Our meeting was at Joy Paet's home.
In attendance:
Molly, Lynn, Laura, Wendi and Joy
I felt we really dived in for a thorough discussion of The Lost Symbol. Also welcome was the review emailed from Jane. Her review mirrored mine and I was grateful for her comments. *WARNING: don't read if you haven't read The Lost Symbol a MAJOR SPOILER TO FOLLOW*

I found the repeated referrals to divine transformation intriguing. p. 84, p. 308 and p. 492 in particular. Browns references to Mormanzzling doctrine, both overt and covert were puzzling to me. I have a hunch that he will re-visit this thread in future novels. I was suspect of Mal'akh's explanation of his vengeance towards Peter from the beginning. I had a hunch that he was actually Zachary but it just wasn't plausible that his own father would not recognize him. Finally comment: I found the book exciting and the science vs religion arguments interesting. The last few chapters were a disappointment since they digressed to a college lecture tone.~ Jane Gorton

Thanks Jane!
