A review by dmcke013
Inferno by Dan Brown

3.0

By and large, I've never really understood the rave (populist) reviews that Dan Brown gets. Yes, the books are enjoyable enough (albeit formulaic), but I've never really felt the need to go back and re-read it - in my opinion, the sign of a good book - once I've finished them, with this (the fourth book to feature Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon) really only reinforcing that opinion.

Whereas both Angels and Demons and the more famous are set in and around Rome with The Lost Symbol set in Washington, this is set in Italy instead, mainly in around Florence. Perhaps it's because I've read a few of these types of books, but if I'm honest, I found none of the plot twists to really be all that exciting, with most of them signposted from about a mile away! Still, if you've enjoyed Dan Brown's previous offerings you'll probably enjoy this too ...
