5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Companion to The Lost Symbol December 1, 2009
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Though there has been a siginificant gap since the publishing of Dan Brown's previous book, "The Da Vinci Code", and Burstein's "The Secrets of the Code", Daniel Burstein's "Secrets of The Lost Symbol" has arrived right on the heels of Brown's latest offering.

Once again, a comprehensive group of authors works as an ensemble cast to produce a nearly encyclopedic analysis of a Dan Brown work for our betterment. Each of the authors has penned an essay on their own particular area of expertise, as a leading expert in the field, with the possible exception of James Sanborn, as the sculptor of KRYPTOS, located inside the security of the CIA's Langley center, since he is not only the leading expert, but the "keeper of the 'keys'" as well.

At the other edge, author Elonka Dunin [Nola K(ay)e] does an exceptional job of defining KRYPTOS from the public's view, as she is probably the leading repository of KRYPTOS knowledge outside the mind of Mr. Sanborn!

This book is highly recommended to those who want to understand how "The Lost Symbol" relates to our real world.

5.0 out of 5 stars secrets of the lost symbol December 26, 2009
Format:Hardcover
itisn't often that you read a bestseller and then buy a book that explains the bestseller and that book is so much better than the original. but it happens over and over when you read any "secrets of the code..." books by dan burstein and arne de keijzer. get on the bandwagon and buy the book "secrets of the lost symbol". this book is better than dan brown's original book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wide and Shallow February 1, 2010
By Tom
Format:Hardcover
This book, which is a compilation of short chapters by various contributors, discusses various aspects of Dan Browns book the Lost Symbol. A small amount of useful information, but mostly very shallow coverage; at best, it contains hints for deeper research. A couple chapters by Freemasons are worthless deception and coverup; don't expect truth from any freemason. No index, no bibliography, except mention of contributor's books.
