Inferno

I have read the other 3 Langdon books by Dan Brown.

When I picked this one up I knew to expect the following:

1. A beautiful genius of a woman will become the "Co-Star" to accompanying the Professor Langdon for the duration of the book then disappear never to be heard of again.

2.I would need to suspend my disbelief in al logic and real life.

3. I would once more shake my head at the total luck that Professor Langdon has. He seems to have good fortune and just plain dumb luck be his constant companion.

4. By the end of the book I would feel like I had sat through a semester of a class in Art History.

5. I would be best to hear this on audio book since the art history parts as well as the latin and other foreign language would mare my reading.

6. I will hear a lot of parts repeated over and over again

7. I would have to put up with some lecture being smashed over my head on some political or social belief and the authors point being all to clear.

 This book was the above as well as the normal Dan Brown-Robert Langdon type of book.

Our hero once more is thrown into a matter of life or death the will effect the whole world unless he can figure out puzzles only he seems to know.

This is not quite up the Angels and Demons but I have to give it one point that made me happy I read it. I was totally caught off guard by the ending.

Only twice before have I been caught in a "Oh no that just did not happen" Once in Harry Potter series and once at the end of Elfstones of Shannara.

This book did the same once the real villain was revealed then one mrore final twist revealed.

That made me happy that I pushed on and finished the book. I almost gave up 3/4th the way through.

If you liked the other books you should be happy to read this.
