Thrilling and informative, the random insertions of art history in the middle of a chapter can be distracting. Gives a slightly outdated view on overpopulation.
this prompted lots of interesting conversations about ethics and population control in my house.
this book is very similar to the other books in the series, but, as always, i was surprised by the twist towards the end. this is one of those books that i only read because 1) i should finish the series and 2) i like to learn about art and art history in a way that is not overwhelmingly boring. the plotline of the plague and the subsequent opinions about population growth and the use of plagues as a form of population control from the various characters were... borderline ecofascist and eugenic thoughts. but overall, dan brown constantly proves that he is a good(ish) thriller writer.
I am a big Dan Brown fan, but Inferno was such a let down. It was the plain, straightforward narrative that turned me off. After reading Lost Symbol, which was released few years ago, I was expecting something just as exciting and riveting, but it was not to be.
For me Digital Fortress continues to be his best work with Lost Symbol coming in a close second.

Loved the different approach and the twist at the end was all worth it
Dan Brown once again proves himself as a master of historical-puzzle! Only from his book i feel like never been read any other 'brainstorm' book than this Robert Langdon series. just like as many as sticky notes spreads on the pages and the count of me search through google, making myself literally read the whole wikipedia about renaissance or even download a copy of Divine Comedy.
The plot, however. not as good as i expected. ikr, the twist is sick enough. but Inferno is not as good as Da Vinci Code. that's rather sad, since i'd been waiting for another mind-blow came from the series.

Great read. This is me second favorite from this series after Angels and Demons. As always, there were a lot of twist and turns in the book, but that is the reason that I enjoyed reading Dan's Brown's book. It keeps you on your toes and don't want to put the book you are reading.
