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.

Best Langdon novel yet

Would you listen to Inferno again? Why?

So happy with this book. The story pleasantly deviates from Brown's typical plot formula, and for that reason I'd listen to the book again just to try and pick up on subtle hints of what ultimately happens. If you've enjoyed the other Dan Brown titles featuring our favorite symbologist Robert Langdon, Inferno does not disappoint.

What did you like best about this story?

Characters, even the "bad guys", you can sympathize with.

Which character – as performed by Paul Michael – was your favorite?

Robert Langdon. I wish he would do voice over work in the Ron Howard movies. Not that I don't love Tom Hanks, but Paul Michael is the voice of Robert Langdon.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Almost. The last 2.5 hours were in one sitting.

Amazing book, Dan Brown, keep em coming!

The narrator was very articulate and strong tone aided the intensity and plot twist of the book that will have you picking sides until late the end.

Okay, maybe plausible, but not strikingly unique.

I think the Dan Brown is now overusing his trademark formula--which was fresh in "The Da Vinci Code" but is getting a bit stale now: The banty professor is put into a nasty situation and with the help of a brilliant woman solves the mystery that saves the world. Admittedly there is a bit of a twist in this one but it really doesn't successfully distinguish the book from Brown's common mold.

ANOTHER HIT BY DAN BROWN

What made the experience of listening to Inferno the most enjoyable?

THE TEMPO PETER MICHAEL GAVE THE BOOK

What other book might you compare Inferno to and why?

THE LOST SYMBOL, VERY GOOD WRITTING

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

GREAT UNFORTUNATELLY HE HAS BECOME THE VOICE OF MANY CHARACTERS FOR ME, MAKING IT HARDER AND HARDER TO HEAR HIS BOOKS

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