Yep. I spent the long holiday reading Dan Brown's latest book. Hubby is not the one to buy the latest on anything but being a huge fan of the author's writings, he bought our copy of The Lost Symbol just two days after it hit the shelves of bookstores in Dubai.
This time around, Brown reveals to us the elite brotherhood of Freemasons. Hubby's Uncle and a high school classmate belongs to the group. Hubby was once invited to join the group - although no one is really invited - you join maybe because you are curious or want to know what is the secret they are guarding as you might learn from the book. So maybe i should say 'encouraged' to join the masonry. But i guess the tiny rebellious vein on hubby prevailed, he declined. Maybe due also that there is so much misconception about free masons - i used to think they do not believe in the existence of God.
The book is action-packed and provocative. Some lines maybe redundant....still it does not disappoint. I learned a lot (boy it even tells you how to use an iPhone!) and it is what i love most about reading works of Dan Brown. You will not look at things the same way again after reading his books. And the urge to get an iPhone is stronger than ever lolz!
Anyways i leave you with some spoilers so if you have not read the book, stop right here.
