In the previous Dan Brown books I've read, I could never put it down. But this one somehow didn't grab hold of my interest. I wasn't pulled in at all. I made it through but more as an indifferent observer than an emotionally invested participant. And the ending felt weak to me. I actually said out loud, "that's it?"

I loved it, it was the first English novel I have read without using the dictionary. I enjoyed every single word of it, and I consider it to be my second favorite after "The Alchemist"

This book is a filler in all senses of the word and may pass for readable on a beach vacation but thats about it. I enjoyed DaVinci Code and it's been downhill since. To top it off Langdon comes off as a complete dick. Most of the conversations end with him saying something like "Well...you would know where the next clue is if you studied Dante like I did."

If I was on the run with him I'd probably punch him in the face.

It was really hard for me to get into the last installment of the Robert Langdon series, but towards the end--and I mean the very end--it held my attention and made it easier to get through.
