So it took a while for me to get through this book but that is 100% because I watched the movie first before reading the book and it was the biggest mistake I ever made. But having said that I think it was a little bit more drawn out then the other books in this series and at some point I found myself getting a tiny bit bored but it was still an amazing read and I will absolutely be reading the next book in the series.

My least favorite Robert Langdon book so far :( all of them are long, but this one felt bloated and it didn’t hook me in the way the first few books had.

When I started reading this book, I asked myself repeatedly if I had read it before. That's how formulaic Brown's books are. Entertaining? Yes. Thrilling? Sure. Original? Not so much....

I am not a huge Dan Brown fan nor do I believe in Symbology. But the man can write an engrossing story! Perfect beach read.

Safe to say I am not a Brown fan. I can't stand the endless descriptions his books are filled with. This one is slightly better than Da Vinci Code but not great either (the only one I liked was Digital Fortress and it was probably just because it lacked all the history and art). I had to focus hard to finish the book and almost gave up couple times. Also, I just can't stand Robert Langdon being a smartass, mansplaining, and basically thinking less of women that he works with...

After not loving The Lost Symbol, I actually enjoyed Inferno quite a bit. I loved hearing about the centuries old buildings and art in Florence, Venice and Istanbul. Although the villain was twisted, he was much less repulsive those in past Robert Langdon stories. Also they got out of tight spots in ways that were far less farfetched than in the past. Glad I finally read it.

I really wanted to like this book. The historical and architectural descriptions were great, as was all of the information about Dante, but I really thought the story itself was weak. Disappointing, as the history parts were really enjoyable.
