As much I loved the inferno I think this was just not Dan brown. Although it is remarkable and research is very well done on cryptography but he completely is off the point on networking in the end. But still since it is fictional piece we will ignore factual fallacies. 

As for plot it's way too slow and takes a lot of time to actually reveal characters. It went from sleek spy drama to pure mess in the end. Plot rushed and a lot of unnecessary tension is being built in then end. Plot twist caught me completely off gaurd and I think till that point the book was great. After that everything seems off. Still pretty entertaining
