Indlæser... Det forsvundne tegn (2009)af Dan Brown
![]()
Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. Bare han dog kunne skrive og ikke bare belære med detaljer! Jeg nåede til side 220 og følte mig så belært om alle mulige småting, som blev slået stort op, at det stod op i halsen på mig. Brown har sikkert sin research i orden, men hvad skal han dog bruge den til, når han ikke vil andet end at skrive en bog, som kan sælges til lige præcis de samme som læste de andre bøger, han skrev. De andre læste jeg i det mindste færdigt, men nu var det for meget skolemester og for lidt forfatter. Jeg havde ellers besluttet mig for at læse bogen pga. de fordomsfulde foromtaler, som dømte bogen til at være det rene lort uden at folk havde læst hverken den eller nogen af de andre af DB. Denne gang havde 'fordommerne' ret: Bogen var det rene lort. Konklusion: 1/2 stjerne for at grave diverse detaljer frem, 1/2 for forsøget på at kæde dem sammen til 'noget dybt' - og 1/2 for at have fået møget udgivet!
In the end, as with “The Da Vinci Code,” there’s no payoff. Brown should stop worrying about unfinished pyramids and worry about unfinished novels. At least Spielberg and Lucas gave us an Ark and swirling, dissolving humans. We don’t get any ancient wisdom that “will profoundly change the world as you know it” — just a lot of New Agey piffle about how we are the gods we’ve been waiting for. (And a father-son struggle for global domination, as though we didn’t get enough of that with the Bushes.) There are moments of excitement in this skilfully edited, deeply implausible thriller. At times the suspense is prolonged rather than sustained, but the 500 pages turn steadily and the overall effect is entertaining and certainly family-friendly. The Lost Symbol is violent but remarkably chaste and devoid of profanity. If you hate Dan Brown, you're going to hate this book. It seems Brown has decided to irk his critics by repeating every flaw he's been accused of. ... No, it's not Foucault's Pendulum. It doesn't even come close. However, if you liked Dan Brown's previous books you're likely to enjoy this one. There is some interesting trivia about the history of Washington, DC which is in fact true, which is an added bonus. It’s true, his style is as baldly prosaic as legend, but there remains a heft to his potboilers that is hard to imitate. He is better at conveying claustrophobia and breathlessness than, say, the explosion of a top-secret lab (“fragments of titanium mesh . . . droplets of melted silicon” etc) but the latter will make a juicier scene come the inevitable Tom Hanks movie, and the author knows this. As a thriller, "The Lost Symbol" is exciting, although readers of "The Da Vinci Code" will notice that some of the same stock characters and creaky plot devices pop up... As District of Columbia resident, I must say that Mr. Brown does a first-rate job of delivering a Cook's tour with duly sinister overtones of Washington's famous sites... It's when Mr. Brown interrupts his storytelling to deliver one of his many lectures on Christian intolerance—with pointed digs at the American religious right—that "The Lost Symbol" becomes a didactic bore.

For at være kortfattet, kan man sige om bogen at det er en typisk Dan Brown bog. Korte kapitler, masser af "cliffhangers", og en bog der er svær at ligge fra sig når man først er kommet igang. Desværre havde den ikke noget nyt og byde på....!!!! (
