Inferno, by Dan Brown - A Review
SPOILER ALERT! This reaction is full of them - so if you don't like spoilers, please don't read.
I loved Angels and Demons. Immensely. The idea of a modern-day thriller incorporating credible science and history - which just happened to take place in some of the coolest spots in the world - was the inspiration for a story that would eventually turn into The Vesuvius Isotope. I think my love of Angels and Demons was intensified by the fact that I happened to read it during the real papal conclave, and just before I was heading to Italy for the first time. What a blast.
Then I read The Da Vinci Code. I thought The Da Vinci Code was also pretty cool except for the fact that the story at its core was largely a repeat of Angels and Demons.
Then I thought Dan Brown completely jumped the shark with The Lost Symbol. Yet another repeat, only without the good parts. Whaaaaa?
So I was trepidatious about Brown's latest thriller, Inferno.
