smedders89 's review for:

Inferno by Dan Brown
2.0

Having read all the other Dan Brown novels I felt I should at least give this one a try.

Pretty standard fare for the Langdon series and the Dan Brown books in general. Very much to the formula.

SpoilerI found the Plot-Convenient Amnesia to be a very lazy way of creating the mystery and setting up the "big twist" which, when it came, made me feel pissed off at myself for not seeing it coming. (I was reading a Dan Brown novel after all)
The ending was anticlimactic, reminding me of the Lost Symbol.
The two explicit references to Robert Langdon's apparent aversion to artistic depictions of the penis seemed unnecessary and stuck in my mind. I couldn't help wondering if there has been speculation that Langdon is gay and this was shoe-horned in to assert that he isn't.
