A conversation with an 8 year old.

Daughter – Dad, M…. asked me to be his girlfriend.

Me – Bey, you are way too young for that.

Daughter – I KNOW dad.

Me – He is a nice boy, be good friends with him.

Daughter – Yes, he did not ask me in human anyway.

Me – Huh?

Daughter – He told someone to tell me.

Me – Oh, he did not ask in person?

Daughter – That’s what I said.

Reading…

Dan Brown’s books are unpredictable.  I hated Digital Fortress, loved The DaVinci Code.  I thought the Deception Point was monotonous @ best but Angels and Demons was fantastic.

The Lost Symbol follows this pattern.  It’s mediocre but still entertaining.  It’s way longer than it needed to be;  500+ pages that could have easily been written in 400 pages.  There are entire chapters that were written for screen play as if Dan Brown is already thinking about his movie sale for the book.  I am kind of getting tired of the damsel in distress girl in every one of his books.  I think this books suffers the same fate that Night Shyamalan suffered after his movie Sixth Sense.  It’s not easy living up to super successful release.

To me, this book reads like an apology to his Christian audience after heaping abuse on the church in Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code.

Some of the science is out there again.  Noetic science reads like the Scientologist crap that some people would like you to believe.  However, I can weed my way through the bullshit the same way I do with all of the CSI shows, it’s meant to be entertaining.

And in the end, this book is still entertaining.
