Publisher's summary

Dan Brown’s new novel, Inferno, features renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon and is set in the heart of Europe, where Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centred around one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces.

As Dan Brown comments: "Although I studied Dante's Inferno as a student, it wasn't until recently, while researching in Florence, that I came to appreciate the enduring influence of Dante's work on the modern world. With this new novel, I am excited to take readers on a journey deep into this mysterious realm… a landscape of codes, symbols, and more than a few secret passageways."

Excellent read.

I have always loved Dan Browns books.

The plot is always interesting with unexpected turns drawing you in!

Both interesting and heart pounding

A unique story, told with a mixture of science, history, and adventure. I loved the many plot twists. This book is much better than the movie, and the narrator was excellent.

Same old same old

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

If you liked Da Vinci Code you'll like this. Personally something different would have been nice.

Would you ever listen to anything by Dan Brown again?

Probably not. If someone else wrote this book minus Robert Langdon it would be plagiarism

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

Solid Preformance

Could you see Inferno being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Definitely. I'd rather watch Masterchef.

Read it!

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

It's a great book! It's one of the best books i have read this year!

Any additional comments?

Just get this book!

Too long

A good book, but I never would have persevered if I was reading it. If you are thinking of getting the audio book, I recommend the abridged version.

A brilliant idea... a stunning story

Dan Brown on the pinnacle of storytelling. ...

Dan Brown at his best

Would you consider the audio edition of Inferno to be better than the print version?

No, I still like my printed books but alongside the audio the two are great.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Inferno?

The opening seemed out of place until of course you got to understand

What about Paul Michael’s performance did you like?

Very good

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I must admit it seemed too much like Di Vinci code, Professor Langdon on the run with a woman but still enjoyable more than an extreme reaction.

Any additional comments?

I must say I enjoyed this book over Di Vinci and Lost Symbol as a fan of Dante Mr Brown did well to keep it alive for me.

This book placed visiting Italy on by bucket list

Would you consider the audio edition of Inferno to be better than the print version?

Definitely

Any additional comments?

Thanks to this book I took note of works of art I never would have known about

A Lackluster Blockbuster

Even though I enjoyed this novel, I found it somewhat lacking. There was no end of thrills and twists and turns in the story, but it lacked the sheer enjoyment that I received while reading his previous novels.

To the readers considering this novel, go ahead and read it, it is good enough, just don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic Story, Horrible ending

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

i was captivated by the book for most of it with the exception of some parts with lengthy historical background. the thrill grew to the edge towards the second half of the book, (no spoilers) but i am always eager to find out what is going to happen next. Certainly enjoyed this part.

the ending however was disappointing and not clear, it didn't answer my questions and didn't leave me hungry for more either. i was like .... really? and what about?? what was the whole problem the were worried about to begin with? and why is it not a problem any more? didn't like that much

What about Paul Michael’s performance did you like?

Paul is Awesome!! I love how he changes his tone, pitch, and speed of speach to show differences between different players in the story. makes it so easy to follow.
