About this ebook

#1 WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER • Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon awakens in an Italian hospital, disoriented and with no recollection of the past thirty-six hours, including the origin of the macabre object hidden in his belongings.

“One hell of a good read.... As close as a book can come to a summertime cinematic blockbuster.” —USA Today

“A diverting thriller.” —Entertainment Weekly


With a relentless female assassin trailing them through Florence, he and his resourceful doctor, Sienna Brooks, are forced to flee.

Embarking on a harrowing journey, they must unravel a series of codes, which are the work of a brilliant scientist whose obsession with the end of the world is matched only by his passion for one of the most influential masterpieces ever written, Dante Alighieri's The Inferno.
 
Dan Brown has raised the bar yet again, combining classical Italian art, history, and literature with cutting-edge science in this captivating thriller.

Inferno is a page turner in the worst of ways. You will surely keep on reading, wondering how the same man who wrote The DaVinci Code could also pen the atrocity which is this book. Lazy writing, indefensible tangents on panoramas and vistas, ridiculous condescension to the reader's intelligence, vomited diatribes on dead people that have no relation to the plot, all plague Inferno in much the same way that Brown's poorly choiced villains plague his favorite protagonist, Robert Langdon, who is, incredibly, more one dimensional and caricature like than ever. I'm being generous and giving it two stars, only because, conceivably, one can think much worse books deserving of only one. And honestly this book doesn't belong in that company, though it barely escapes that fate.

Sadly, having read every Dan Brown book written, this is the breaking point for me. His pacing is the same, same basic story, crisis, figure it out R. L., save the day, and the other 2/3 is a history book. Am I the only one that expects more at this point.? Too many other authors who execute his format far better than Mr. Brown, see Joel C. Rosenberg, or even Brad Thor

The book could have been about 100-200 pages shorter. It is a very long and dry read, I understand the author is trying to place you into the scenes, but there was far too much detail that had me skipping through entire paragraphs. The ending was thankfully much better than "The Lost Symbol". If you are a Robert Langdon fan, his character will not disappoint, and is worth the read. As with most of his work, it is very intellectually inspiring, and I happily anticipate the next Robert Langdon adventure.
