...when the hard cover edition first came out [[bout 6 months ago]] i can only gawked at it from afar since it cost almost a hundred rgt. somehow, i have a very strong urge to grab one [[at that time i was at popular-perangin]] and make a run for it. miraculously, i managed to stop myself. ok,right now you might think 'what the hell is she talking about??' well, am actually talking about this book down here...
dan brown, the lost symbol. and when the paperbag edition finally out, i never wasted my time to buy one [[yeah!!]] at last my collection of Brown's are complete ^^ now, let's get down to the storyline.
the main character [[hero]] is robert langdon [[the same langdon in da vinci code]] and it tells about his adventure trying to save his mentor [[Peter Solomon]] from his kidnapper. unknowingly, he was brought to washington dc by peter's kidnapper and he refuses to agree to the kidnapper's orders. however, he was forced to change his mind after he saw a gruesome incident happened at the capitol rotunda. and for the rest you have to read yourself [[ehe]] * spoiler alert: the kidnapper [[malaikh]] and peter actually have histories and relation that is quite unbelievable, and somehow it will bring sadness in your heart.
what i love most about brown is the fact that he can delivered a very twisting puzzle in a very untwisted manner. although sometimes the character acts as if they are human-dictionaries, the facts [[mostly about symbols and signs]] are fascinating. btw, most af them are true. owh, another noteworthy aspect is brown's interpretation of the bible. it's quite different from what i've know, but not entirely wrong. thanks to Brown, i realized that to know the word of God, i have to be responsible as with His words, comes great knowledge.
ps. i've also get to learn a new language (latin) which i think is very meaningful to me:
Laus Deo
[[literally translated as Praise God]]
praise God it is ^^
booky eyed,
