The Secret of Secrets by Dan BrownMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was very excited to read The Secret of Secrets, the sixth book in the Robert Langdon series, by Dan Brown. Has it been six books? Apparently it has and apparently I have read them all. I like iconology and symbology. I find it really fascinating. Set it in Prague? Even better! I love Prague. It is a great city. I would even say you can read this book as a standalone if you aren't ready to invest in a whole series. It's a really long book that covers a lot of ground on consciousness. I was all in on that. The research, experiments, and theories of noetic science make this worth the read alone. I wanted to know the secret of secrets!
However, and this is a personal issue, I am a retired diplomat. I could not suspend enough disbelief about the U.S. Embassy Prague or the people working there. I have been there. I know people who have worked there. There were too many inconsistencies that it put a damper on my overall enjoyment of the story. If you know nothing about the inner workings of an Embassy or the diplomatic community, you should have no problems!
