As I have been set up to review Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol, I just read through the book, and discovered it not surprisingly in every imaginably way as terrible as TDVC.
And then some.
Besides increasing his page number by a hundred and his New Age preaching tenfolds - and making the last 40 pages one long esoteric sermon (Manly P. Hall and all that "Secret teaching of all ages" stuff, and The Bible being about The Mind etc, ad nauseum) - he now even makes a central rhetorical point out of nonsense such as the "Dark Ages" as "an era where even the brightest minds perceived the earth to be flat".
And he does it not just once, he does it thrice.
So far I have not seen a single reviewer commenting on this, something which proves the case for the Modern Ages as an era where even the brightest minds perceived the medievals to believe the earth to be flat.
In short it is a safe bet that Dan Brown now will have the great honour of perpetuating also this myth .

It's a load of incoherent rubbish about mysterious symbols, freemasons and conspiracy theories....which is why it is going to become the biggest selling paperback in history. Even my boss has bought a copy and he normally only reads 'What Car?' magazine.
