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.

Brown delivers again

If you could sum up Inferno in three words, what would they be?

Classic Dan Brown. Loved it. The story had surprises and a great ending. Brown is a master story teller and I can't wait for his next book.

Intriguing topic; lame writing

Would you try another book from Dan Brown and/or Paul Michael?

Maybe. The art and history content holds the reader's interest but the writing is so tedious.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes, the narration was on track.

Do you think Inferno needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No follow up. The book would have been fantastic with some tragedy or some surprise. Instead it was a whimper of an ending.

Best so far!

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

This is one of the better reads, very fast paced and the descriptions of landmarks, always great. Made me feel like I was back visiting Florence and Venice.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Inferno?

Learning what the real intent was....don't want to give away to much info.

Which character – as performed by Paul Michael – was your favorite?

Sienna, she is full of angst and that came through.

Review

Alot of the story is a nice history lesson. Some of it was hard to get thru because of that. With that said it fit well into the series.
