#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.

great storyline​<br />not good narrator

Very interesting story. The narrator did nothing to help keep you awake during the sightseeing​ and background of locations.

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.

very entertaining

complex issue of overpopulation highlighted amid detective and interpersonal intrigue. maybe too far-fetched but riveting.

Fun listen

If you have liked other books by Dan Brown, I can't imagine that you wouldn't like this book. I like the character of Robert Langdon, and this adventure was as fun as the others.

Worthy reading

It's another great read from Dan Brown The inferno. lots of story lots of action.

Captivating story, exemplary narration

When I purchased this audiobook, I was concerned the narrator would not be able to capture the essence of Dan Brown's writing. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the narration and I would recommend this to anyone

RESET SLEEP TIMER OVER AND OVER!

Dan Brown never disappoints! I stayed up too late many nights - couldn't stop listening!

Good for a road trip

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

I would...it is an interesting read and an exciting story.

What other book might you compare Inferno: A Novel to and why?

Any other Dan Brown novel. He has hit on a formula of sorts to make an exciting book, and Inferno is no different.

Which scene was your favorite?

I mostly enjoyed the scenes in Florence, as the descriptions of the sights and attractions are compelling. Brown does paint the scenery well, if the story is a bit formulaic.

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

Yes and no. The recording is 17 hours long, which makes for a long sitting, but on a road trip from Minnesota to Texas, it makes for a good listen.

Any additional comments?

There needs to be some removal from reality when listening to this book, but it is interesting and exciting. At times, the author restates things enough times to make sure that everybody understands what's going on, which tends to drag a little for an audiobook. However, these are details, and the big picture of this book is that it is a good story with good descriptions and inclusion of art and art history.
