Got 'The Lost Symbol' for Xmas

Has anyone read it?

I've read all four of Dan Brown's other books. If I had to rank em:

1. Angels & Demons - by far the best of the four.
2. Digital Fortress - not especially great, but a fun book.
3. Deception Point - couple things I didn't really (writing style) but I got over it, I suppose.
4. The DaVinci Code - I just plain didn't like this book.


I'm really hoping that the Lost Symbol is good, because as you can see, I only really loved one of his books. I'm hoping he ditches the crazy preachiness of The DaVinci code and goes back to writing just a good, fun thriller like Angels and Demons. I can't stand to listen to him try to convince me of conspiracy and corruption for a hundred pages again...

Have you guys read his stuff??

I've read Angels & Demons & The DaVinci Code - i agree that A&D is his best.

I also read The Lost Symbol, it was pretty good, similar to the other two in the way that they run around a city all night chasing the baddies...but the endings of his books...he's not a good finisher
