Pretty much what you would expect from the first books. I like these books because a vast majority of the books are like a tour of history describing in intricate details buildings, statues, and histories. For that reason alone I would recommend any of these books.
What this book is about is an old friend of Robert Langdon contacts him to come to DC with an entrusted object to visit him...or so...

What this book is about is an old friend of Robert Langdon contacts him to come to DC with an entrusted object to visit him...or so he thinks. What he gets thrust into is of course another treasure hunt that becomes a matter of life or death as he discovers the secret history and buildings and symbols of America's founding.
There are several climaxes to this book, one, the first one, extremely lame. Another one is very intense. And the third is somewhere in between.
There are philosophies exposed in this book too. A dash of Unitarian. A whole lot of "100 monkey theory". And mostly something called neo-physics where ancient legend powers are rediscovered in light of 21st century science. Now these last two parts are real and educational and a good primer for those familiar with neo-physics and "hundred-monkey theory".
Now for the Christians, the ending is satisfying but you must wade through some Unitarian beliefs to get there.
Overall, a very good book.
The only thing I did not like was the lame lame lame resolution with the CIA story thread in the book. If you are paranoid about the CIA, you might enjoy it. If you are like me, and not a CIA basher left wing conspirator, you will find that particular climax very lame.
