The Lost Symbol- Dan Brown

          Over the past couple of weeks I finished up the book The Lost Symbol. Like always Dan Brown creates a suspenseful ending and today I am going to go through how he created his suspense. Have you ever read a book by Dan Brown? If you have you would know how much research he puts behind his books. The author goes into the specifics of Masonry like he is an expert. Through Robert Landgon the author creates a ton of suspense and walks you through on how he finds out. Like a lot of other books by Dan Brown the plot involves Robert Landgon being thrown into a investigation and goes from being wanted by the government to being adored by the government.

            Robert Landgon has to solve one of the greatest secrets in Masonry history. Robert Langdon is deprived of his rights, dignity, and freedom during the investigation. Robert Landgon's main goal is to stop Peter Solomon from being bereft of life. For Peter Solomon to survive Robert Landgon must solve the lost symbol. Now can you see how Dan Brown creates suspense.

          One example of suspense in the book is in the end of chapter 119, "Her heart almost stopped. Oh my God..." (Brown 679).This is not the only chapter where Dan Brown creates a suspenseful ending to a chapter you can find places like this almost everywhere in the book whether it is Robert being chased by the cops or Robert solving one of the clues. The duo of Katherine and Robert create one of the most suspenseful books I have ever read.
