Ted's Take

I finished reading the book. I can’t wait to see the film. It was good fun, easy reading, improbable and silly at times but still a good read.

From my office I can see the Masonic Temple AND the Washington Monument. I am triangulated between both. What does that mean? And I live right near CIA HQ. Is this all a coincidence or part of a bigger plot?

In the beginning was the word and the word was…I can’t tell you. Read the book.

But someone sure went through a lot of trouble to bury one word UNDER the Washington Monument.

I hope this book helps drive additional tourism throughout DC. I will drive by some of the addresses mentioned in the book one Saturday just to check them out and see if they are real.

Dan Brown is a writer that is breathless and the books sell briskly. They read like made-for-TV movies. This one was a fun read but it won’t top The Da Vinci Code for sales or controversy.

And our President just won a Nobel Prize and he has a name that spans generations and sounds Muslim. Does this fulfill the prophecies?

And the Shriners? Rock the Red Fez next! Who knew?
