A review by phlegyas
The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl

4.0

This was one of the first books I read when I got back to reading. Yes, I had given up reading (anything that was not Lovecraft) for a long time.
I really liked this book. It resembled a cross between "Dead Poets Society" and "Silence of the Lambs". Yes, I know, these are movies, but you understand where I'm going with this.
It had a nicely tied together plot, characters that you expected things from, cared for and was either surprised or disappointed by. Plus, series of murders. In a "the Historian" way.
Totally recommendable to any thriller fans out there. An enjoyable read.
