Inferno by Dan Brown

Inferno (Robert Langdon, #4)

by Dan Brown

#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.

Meh. A prisoner of his formula.

Dan Brown is a prisoner of his formula, finding some odd historical theory and exploding into a novel. Angels & Demons was fun, The Da Vinci Code was inspired, and Inferno is just.....tired. Too much "tour guiding", and forced plot derived from Dante's Inferno.

He should break out of his prison and try something new.
