Met veel plezier Inferno van Dan Brown gelezen. Het einde is verrassend. Dan Brown verwerkt wel veel kennis over kunt en architectuur in zijn boeken, met het risico dat de snelheid uit het verhaal wordt gehaald.
Maar toch, een aanrader.

This book was much like his previous books though the subject matter and the major plot twist did make me quite uneasy. I understand that's the human denial the author is describing, but it did take some enjoyment out of the story. I find the reference in each Robert Langdon book to his stupid Mickey Mouse watch infuriating; I'm not really sure why and I understand the character tic behind it, but it drives me batty. The locations in this book were my favourite thing about it - I adore Florence and Venice having studied them intensely in a subject on the Renaissance and having visited them years ago on honeymoon. I am now really keen to get to the last destination in the book too someday. Otherwise, this book was an easy, quick read and I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it.

This is just good kick around fun in some respects, nice wee art hostory thriller which is why I enjoyed it. Then we have this odd 'world is dying' population problem underlying it and it all goes a tad pear shaped. i think dan brown tries out too many plot twists in this one. But I have to say I do like his awkward melding of art and science.

As always, Brown has created an easy - enjoyable read...
As always, Brown's novel is complete with "twists" that are so farfetched that you'll be going back through your mind thinking, but didn't he say..." Or, "if x did this, then how is y".

DNF'ed around halfway through. This book follows the similar pattern to Brown's previous Robert Langdon books. There's the female sidekick, a secret society with one of its members hunting Langdon down, some historical artifact and Langdon's mickey mouse watch. I just didn't click with this one at all. It took a long time to get going with information being withheld for so long that I just lost interest as I went along. I enjoyed Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code but The Lost Symbol was where the books became repetitive.
