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.

The Perspective...

I enjoy Dan Brown and his books. I also do not have an expectation that everything he presents is going to line up in reality, otherwise this book would be in non-fiction. It is the perspective that is important when you pick up this book and setting expectations.

Dan Brown does a great job of weaving a story, building on his characters and having fun with history.

The narration is good and this book is worth the time and money.

Was all over the place . . .

Any additional comments?

This got off to a very slow start and I almost returned it. It did get better but was slow in places. Not as good as its predecessors.

Intriguing

Kinda predictable but overall an amazing and (mostly) surprising read with lots of compelling mystery.

First Dan Brown

This was my first Dan Brown book. It was a very engaging story line and very rich in history. Kept me guessing.
