Review: Lost Symbol

This would be one of the best novel I have read in mystery and suspense genre. What can I expect from the author of Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons? Nothing but pages of full of excitement and great revelations! Dan Brown, I would say, is one of the best author we have right now. Of course to name a few like James Patterson and Anne Rule, he was exceptionally talented as them. So what's with "Lost Symbol" that makes it one of my favorite novel?

The best thing that I love about how Dan Brown wrote this novels is the feeling of wanting to finish the story in just one seating! But, I wasn't able to do that. Haha! It took me 5 days to finish this novel but the wanting to never stop reading is one of the feeling that I really like. It became a drug that I love to abuse myself with 'coz it got me addicted in reading the pages and I always search for any free time that I may have, be it at the office or in a ride on my way to office or home... on a bus! :)

I would definitely recommend this novel to all Dan Brown fanatics out there or to those who prefers mysterious things, suspense and actions! Plus the surprising revelations! I just love it!

What is then the "Lost Symbol"? It's the symbol that can create the greatest change in the history of mankind... but I will not tell you what is that symbol... go and know it yourself. :)

If I have 3 thumbs, i will give this my three thumbs up!

Infinity

"It is an unendless ___________."
(I give my readers the freedom to supply any words you can think about and fits on the blank space provided.) 

We first saw the symbol of infinity when we were on high school, probably during the second year. And our teacher thought us that infinity stands for anything that is boundless. In terms of numbers, it's something that multiplies with no ending (which i think somehow related to exponentials. gotta review my math 101 :D). 

As I grow older (but still looks young), I learned that people also relates infinity to something  other than science or mathematics. We often see and hear the words like endless, never ending and walang hanggan... endless love, hanggang sa dulo ng walang hanggan, and so on. But are there really such things as infinite that are not pertaining to numbers and science? A simple question that I always ponder about. Do you believe that there are such things as endless or limitless?
