Book Reviews #11 - Inferno (2013) by Dan Brown

Plot: In this fourth entry of the series, Robert Langdon must find clues inside Dante’s Divine Comedy in order to stop a plague.

Review: In short, if you like the other Robert Langdon books. The mystery is intriguing and the short chapters keep you going on since it’s easier to continue. The setting is in Italy once again, however this time they travelled to Florence and Venice whereas in Angels & Demons they were in the Vatican.

            Part of the appeal of these books is that it makes interesting. I want to visit all the locations they visit. Once you get the history of why certain things happen it makes everything seem like more than just some old stuff. The main threat here is a little bit different than the previous ones. Bertrand Zobrist believes that the world is on the brink of overpopulation, which could spark the end of humanity. He plans on unleashing a plague that will stop it. In a way the villain has a good point, which creates ideas to be discussed.

            Inferno is definitely worth a read. It will be interesting to see how the movie version will turn out, hopefully it will be better than Angels & Demons.

Score: 8/10
