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.
