Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

I make it £14.59 inc delivery.

The Book Depository "free post" option is £14.83

Amazon is so much cheaper if you order more than one item - it always beats the so called "free postage" options.


By the way it's a great book!

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Apologies for above. I genuinely did not realise you could buy study guides to go with Dan Brown books.

:confused:

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Thanks Fred, any tips on good books ?

Great! (I hope my credit card gets refused, which is usually maxed out)

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Are you interested enough in the masons to form a Lodge in Ayamonte?

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Or Play.com £10.99 free delivery.

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Yes, that's the price if you have it delivered in the UK.

In theory they deliver to Spain "free" but they will only do that if you pay in Euros and they will charge you €14.49 which is £13.62 at today's rates.

So much for "free" delivery!

HaHaHa! Someone gave the Rotary club a try but that didn´t come off. Not even a darts club here!

But you get visits from The Royal Yachting Association.

Another crooked bunch....

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

I used to steer this thing, no mast involved!

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Should have seen the props in the first pic! Tell us a bit more then, It´s a pilot boat which you´re going to work with ? The draught seems very litlle with only 1 mtr. won´t she roll too much? Engine? Speed, Age, lenght, weight?

(Dear moderators, I know it´s all very off topic, I´m just having a chat)

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Yep, forgot about that little bit of water between UK and Spain!!

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

No she gets on the plane.

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

:rofl::rofl:

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

From Wikipedia:

Planing describes the state in which the hull of a waterborne craft is lifting up higher up to the point where it merely skims across the water, rather than moving through it. It describes a craft which is predominantly supported by hydrodynamic lift, rather than hydrostatic lift (buoyancy). This happens due to the relative motion of the passing water pushing the hull up, it rises up with dynamic lift. As the hull rises up the wetted surface becomes smaller, thus reducing hydrodynamic drag and making higher speeds achievable.

I thought he was talking about his missus. (my sense of humour ;-)).)

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Since this no longer has anything to do with Ayamonte (did it ever?) I am moving it to Siesta Time.

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Whish she would :thumbup:

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Rumour has it Dan Brown will appear in Ayamonte early next week :eek:

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

:lol: hope he brings a copy of the book for me....

Btw, at what speed does she plane (your boat, obviously) ? Depends on the weight is my guess, but you have a combined 430 hp right?

Bloody hell do you people think this is? A chat room????

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Can't say I'm too familiiar with Dan Brown and his lost symbol but I'm always interested in a good book.
However looked at the reviews on Amazon and mostly seemed quite disappointing with an average rating of only around 3 stars,so thought better of it for now.
Horses for courses I suppose,..may or may not be my cup of tea....but usually prefer to risk my readies on something with better odds......:unsure:

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

I really enjoyed reading all his books, I also like John Grisham´s and James Patterson. If you like their style then Dan Brown is a good read for you as well.

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

A man after my own heart. Love all those authors - have also recently been introduced to Michael Connolly, Peter Robinson and Mark Billingham.

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Whether you would like it or not is a personal issue but it's first print run was 6.5 million copies and it sold one million copies on the first day making it the fastest selling adult novel in history.

If it's crap there will be a lot of very disappointed people!

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

I certainly can't pass judgement as I haven't read it, and nor had those million people when they bought it on the first day.
All I'm saying is it did not get a great write up in feedback from reader reviews, and quite a few expressed disappointment that it was not up to the mark of the previous ones.

I have read most of John Grishams and kind of felt that his standards slipped somewhat after his excellent early publications.

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Michael Connoly is good too, I just finished The Lincoln Lawyer. And Year One by Jeff Long.

(quiet times on the taxi-stand !)

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

The ratings on Amazon are meaningless, most of the five-star ones are from the author, his family, or his agent and publisher.

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

I am a very disappointed reader of The Lost Symbol:thumbdown:

After his other four books I am afraid that it is not as good as DaVinci Code or Angels and Demons, before I am shot down this is my opinion but I have been a huge fan of Dan Brown and expected more from him. The plot is very good but I think that there is a lot of waffle which becomes boring.

As an avid book reader I also enjoy Michael Connolly and would recommend his recent book Nine Dragons which brought back Bosch. James Patterson has released two new books Ales Cross's Trial and I, Alex Cross which are good. Some excellent authors that I thoroughly enjoy are Harlan Coben, Karen Rose and Richard Montanari, all of these are riviting crime thrillers.

I would appreciate other peoples opinions and recomendations for other authors.

Happy Reading:)

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

And me too!!! Mind you haven't tried your last two authors?? Santa Claus is hopefully bringing me all the books you mention:D

Re: The lost symbol-Dan Brown
 

Hi Sue

Found Karen Rose by chance when looking at the paperbacks in Asda and am now a huge fan, if you enjoy gripping thrillers with twists and turns then try these. Santa Claus is bringing me her new one so early nights after Christmas so that I can read for longer!!!
