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.

Any additional comments?

No more Dan Brown books for me.

Abominable Inferno

good choice of mixing an old classic with bio engineering. great story! I liked contrasts of the old and new mixed together

History and fantasy tied together

Lots of unexpected turns and misdirection with some great historical tie ins changed and fantasies added to make it all work.

Dante's Code: crack it--or ELSE!

If you like continually not knowing what is going to happen next, and discovering the next harrowing clue and dangerous predicament, then this classic Dan Brown scavenger hunt with cataclysmic implications is for you.

Constructed around the symbology of Dante's Inferno, this is a fast action adventure through fascinating historical cities by the familiar protagonist Robert Langdon, and a freaky-smart attractive leading lady (Angelina Jolie?)

It gets a little slow around the end of the first third of the book, then takes off again.

Nothing is ever what you expect.

This is the definition of suspense.

Good read/listen

This was as good as expected. I recommend this to any interested in the ancient history of Italy. It is a virtual trip to the inner workings of museums and religious icons there. It is a little heavy with the language & detail therefore a little difficult to keep up with names & places. The basis of the story gives one pause to ponder.

Fine Story

This was a long listen. I don't feel this moved with the same pace and excitement of some of Brown's other works.

Paul Michael is a fantastic narrator.

Paul Michael is a fantastic narrator. No this is not his mother. All Dan Brown novels are entertaining and informative but Michael really brings them to life

As usual, Dan Brown doesn't disappoint!

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

One of the best books I've read, I loved every moment of it!

What about Paul Michael’s performance did you like?

The reader does an excellent job and puts in the effort to change to female voices or make different accents.

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

I was a big fan of the ending!!!
