“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.

Another great one from Dan Brown

If you could sum up Inferno in three words, what would they be?

Intriging suspensful fast-pace

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes. There is a lot of action going on that is interrelated so each stroyline is updated taking you to a point where something is about to happen. Meanwhile you are switched to what is going on with each of the core characters in the same time frame.

Which scene was your favorite?

The critical point in story as everything comes together near the end. At this point you know something dramatic is about to happen and just when you think you got it, you are hit with numerous twists and turns.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The whole subjective matter centers around the global population exceeding what is sustainable so it is very topical and makes you think.

Any additional comments?

He you like any of the Dan Brown books then you are surely going to enjoy this one. Especially enjoyable if you are familar with the Robert Langdan character. I suspect this one will be hitting the movie theaters in 2014.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I have a copy of Dante's Divine Comedy in Italian, but haven't read it. This book made me want to try again.

Any additional comments?

Like Dan's previous books, I thought it's a fantastic and thought-provoking story. Paul's Italian pronunciation is quite good, which I'm picky about b/c I speak it. My only crit would be a bit more emphasis and animation on the Italian phrases would make them sound more authentic.

Hollywood should make this into a Movie

He did a good job. I will shamefully admit that he probably pronounced names and places better than I would have done....

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

We didn't straighten Tom Hanks' hair for this one!! He looks normal
