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.

Held me on the edge of my seat

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

Excellent performance by Paul Michael. I could see each character. It took a real worldwide concern and made it a centerpiece.

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

I listened to a couple of chapters each time I went for my daily 5 miles walk.

Awesome!

I am a huge fan of Dan Brown. This book, like all of the others that he's written, was a fast-paced page turner. I would definitely recommend it.

Talk about twists!

I did not see that coming. My favorite of the series. A great twist, wonderful tale. If you had the choice, how would you choose? Was he really evil or did he do the right thing.

Riveting book all the way through. Couldn't set it down.

Engaging!! Great twist on character development.

I've read the other Professor Langdon books and I love the fact that this on went right into the story without a ton of main character development. I think the story was organized in a way that kept you pondering and questioning the supporting characters motives. Gave me a new perspective on problem solutions. Great read even if you have seen the movie.

Same recipe cannot work over and over

Where does Inferno rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Average

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Beats me. Maybe make it more logical, less convoluted.

Any additional comments?

I guess I will have to give up on Mr. Brown - it is all the same and does not get any better with repetition, on the contrary.

What a book ❤️

This was the first book I got on audible and what a way to start an obsession. I've always loved Dan Browns books, having read Angels and Demons every summer from middle school to freshman year of college, this latest installment has only improved and each growing successful installment in the series. Langdons story, the thrill and mystery seamlessly woven into history and art of far off cultures and lives long past is just the type of escape any book lover is looking for. 10/10 would listen to again
