This book, like so many other Dan Brown books, is filled with suspense and kept me on the edge of my seat. The return of Langdon and the normal, twisting plot of Dan Brown's books seemed to welcome me. The involvement of the Freemasons and the CIA piqued my interest, completely wrapping me up in the story. I was enthralled by the harrowing adventures of Katherine Solomon and Robert Langdon as they were pursued by the mysterious Mal'akh, a figure whom we learn more and more about as the story progresses.
The ending of the story gave my heart an unexpected squeeze. It was a spin on the plot that I hadn't expected from Brown. I was used to his changes in the stories, but not one of that nature.
The change in location made the story closer to home. The location moved from Europe--Brown's other two Langdon books (Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code) had taken place in Italy, France, and England--to Washington D.C, a place not too far from my own home that I had visited before. Many landmarks I remember seeing in field trips and various visits, and my brain often went off on tangents about my memories of locations mentioned in the book. Other readers who live near D.C may enjoy looking at the supposed location of "the Word" the next time they visit our capitol.
Just like all of Dan Brown's books, this book was filled with suspense and absolutely wonderful. It was well-written and very cleverly planned out, making a great read.
