Publisher's summary

#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.

Amazing book."potential spoiler"

This book is Captivating! However hard to read with after the Coronavirus pandemic. I would still recommend though.

Great Narrator for a Great Book

Once again, Dan Brown writes an excellent book with Robert Langdon as the star. This book, at this time, hit home how something can change the world so quickly. The narration is excellent, as always.

Too much Italian

I thought there was way too much spoken Italian. I didn’t like all of the needed translation. The story was interesting but there were some loose ends. For example there was no explanation why Zobtist wrote the poem in the Dante death mask.

More Believable Than The Last Two Novels

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The ending - without spoiling, the book's conclusion is, for me, a let down.

Would you ever listen to anything by Dan Brown again?

Yes - I will listen to his next novel and in the meantime, may find time for his old novel Deception Point again, still his best in my opinion.

Have you listened to any of Paul Michael’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Excellent narration by Paul Michael.

Was Inferno worth the listening time?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

What does Dan Brown have against Langdon hooking up with his costars anyway? :)

Great fast read

love Dan Brown books for the thrill, substance lies in the amount of history mixed in. the story itself is a bit shallow, pushing for character connection, but it really is a fun read that makes you think. it's like listening to a red collar crimes podcast if that makes sense-- thrilling, captivating, and you learn some history!

Narrator brings characters to life

Narrator did a fantastic job. Multiple voices that suited characters really well. Only his female characters lacked a bit of emotion. Plot got difficult to follow towards the end, but good writing and good reading kept me engaged. Short chapters ideal for brief car rides.

Interesting to learn architecture and history

Paul Michael is without a doubt the top narrator. easy to follow and listen to. Better than Brick

awesome!

the book was awesome he did not disappoint me with another written masterpiece of fun excitement and interest. The reviewer Greg and Livia can go suck it.

it was okay

this book fell a little short for me after reading Angels and demons & Divinci code

Another Langdon adventure…

While Inferno is not my favorite, (those being Origin and Angels and Demons) it is definitely a unique story with a WAY better ending than the movie has. Not as exciting as Langdons other adventures but still interesting to think about, particularly because ‘The Consortion’ is supposed to really exist, Lots of interesting information about Dante and his works. Worth a listen.
