Book of the Month (June)

When I finally saw the 5th book of Dan Brown in the  national bookstore, I can,t help myself but savor the moment of holding it and repeatedly reading its synopsis at the back..wishing I could purchase this..ooops but wait the price to so heavy..well I think of some ways that I might be taking it for free. I think of printing an ebook, but it's not that good though they have the same content. I think of stowing it away, but I might end up repremanded and went to jail..shame on me! A brillian idea suddenly sparked..since next week would my graduation day..maybe I can ask my officemates for a gift..perfect!!..but I might sound so demanding..so what I did was maade a drawlots of all the titles of the I want and of course I included the lost symbol. Whatever they pick will be their assignment..it sounds I'm requesting already..at least it was fair that all of them will bear the burden..LOL..Fortunately, the one who picked the lost symbol thing is my supervisor..and no question he can afford..hahahahaha.Thank you so much TL Christian..



Here are the reviews of the book and to those have read this book,for sure you were awed with the brilliant magic of Dan Brown and the undeniably fascinating facts presented..


"World-renowned symbologist and all-around cool guy Robert Langdon is summoned to an Imposing Architectural Landmark, where something Really Yucky has been left in a way only he can recognize. You know, as a clue. Langdon snaps into action, and it isn't long before he's uncovered more clues that lead to a Secret Society full of Famous Dead Guys. There's a Super-Duper Secret, and the fate of the universe is at stake, but thank goodness Langdon has help from a Foxy Brainiac, which he needs because he's up against a Major Freak. Langdon and the Foxy Brainiac race through more Imposing Architectural Landmarks, pausing only to lecture each other about symbols and whatnot, and try to win a Race Against Time against the Major Freak."



Review:

"[Dan Brown is] bringing sexy back to a genre that had been left for dead....In the end it is Mr. Brown's sweet optimism, even more than Langdon's sleuthing and explicating, that may amaze his readers most." Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Review:

"Brown's narrative moves rapidly, except for those clunky moments when people sound like encyclopedias....TheLost Symbol is more like the experience on any roller coaster — thrilling, entertaining and then it's over." Los Angeles Times

Review:

"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." The Wall Street Journal
