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.

Dan Brown delivers another one

The ten-year delay since the publication of "The Da Vinci Code" was well the wait. Kudos, Dan Brown.

Like it .. not love it

It is a simple story line, easy to figure out what is going on .. didn't need to listen to closely. I enjoyed it but not like I enjoyed Angels and Demons ... This book is not in the same category of good. So it was an okay book. If you like Dan Brown you will like it not love it

Inferno is intense.

no, but I like his performance with Inferno.

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

VERY WELL DONE

Each time I listen to one of Dan Brown's, Robert Langton books, I feel that I have taken several courses in architecture. This book was no exception. I have seen some negative reviews of the INFERNO, but I found it to be better than the DA VINCI CODE. There is less reliance on religious speculation and more reliance on scientific speculation.

Some of the underlying philosophical questions are worth pondering. How do we deal with over population? Are we now the custodians of our own evolution? Is the worst sin not taking action in moral crisis?

The narrator did an excellent job. His tone almost forces one to listen.

I liked it very much

The story plot is as usual a twisty idea from Dan Brown. This is my third book of his writing and i am liking it. My next is the lost symbol and it has very high benchmarks to meet. I have to say though that one of Dan Brown's key excellence is his care for details, and in an audio book format (for me) I cannot grasp such detailed image. Fortunately I have issues with long written detailed books in usual reading experience, and for this combo of reason I can only listen to Dan Brown and cannot read his books. This does not have any thing to do with the book and everything to do with my preference, i am sharing this so any one with same preference does not feel threatened by the obsessive details provided by the book, your mind will utilize what it can, and you will survive.
