Awesome book.

Dan Brown is back and with a bang...

The book keep u on nerves since the very first line of the novel....

The Italian architecture, the concerns of environmentalist (extremist) is depicted exceptionally well...

The reference to Dante's Inferno... the first part of The Divine Comedy is very well used. Its neither too much nor too less.... just as much needed...

Plus the main theme of the novel...
"The Darkest Places in Hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in the times of moral crisis..."

Brilliant :D

I really like the premise of this book, but there was WAY too much description and not enough story here.

Me gusta mucho la forma de escribir de este autor y por eso procuro leer todo lo que publica. En cuanto a este libro me ha parecido el mas flojo de toda la saga del profesor Langdom y no porque sea malo o porque no me haya gustado sino mas bien porque el listón de todos los anteriores es tan alto que suben mucho las espectativas y se hacen dificiles de cumplir.
De todas formas le doy cuatro estrellas y recomiendo, sin duda, su lectura.

I have now finished all of Dan Brown’s novels and am truly in awe of his imagination and how thought provoking his books have been. Inferno being no different. His writing makes you think of so many things all of us at one time or another have also stopped to consider.
I find myself feeling more enlightened and have an even deeper respect of all cultures, religions and opinions and how we should all find a way to embrace each other and have open respectful dialogue so that we can find a way to have humanity prevail against all challenges.
It is no surprise that Dan Brown is as accomplished and acclaimed as he is.

Worth reading to complete the series, but weakest book of the set.

6,5/10

Πλοίο ριβιου παρτ 1.

Γενικά αυτό το βιβλίο όπως και το κώδικας ντα βινσι μου έβγαλε φουλ 39 στοιχεία βαιμπς αλλα για μεγαλύτερες ηλικίες. Αρκετα ωραίο και ευκολοδιαβαστο βιβλίο αλλα όχι κάτι που να σου μένει ιδιαίτερα ή να σε συγκλονίζει. Όπως και ο κώδικας, ήταν ωραίο που σου μαθαίνε αρκετα φακτς περί ιστορίας και θρησκείας αλλα είχε αρκετα παραπάνω action και κυνηγητό και τετοια. Έδινε δηλαδή λίγο περισσότερο έμφαση στην δράση και λιγότερο στο μυστήριο και την όλη ντεκτετιβικη φαση. Ωστόσο θεωρώ ότι παρότι ήταν ωραίο το σασπενς που έδινε, ο κώδικας ήταν πιο ωραίος επειδη σου κρατούσε πολύ περισσότερο το ενδιαφέρον λόγω της πορείας επίλυσης του μυστηρίου ενώ το συγκεκριμένο ένιωθα λίγο να επαναλαμβάνεται και σε μερικά σημεία ισως να κουράζει λίγο αλλα όχι σε υπερβολικό βαθμό. Επίσης δε ξερω πως να το τεκμηριώσω ακριβως αλλα θεωρώ ότι ήταν κάπως έξτρα σε ορισμένα σημεία κυρίως όσον αφορά τις θεωρίες συνομωσίας περί θρησκείας, ιλουμινατι κλπ. Το τέλος ηταν ωραίο. Γενικά δεν εχω πολλά αρνητικά σχόλια αλλα του βαζω 3 αστέρια επειδη αντίστοιχα δεν εχω και τόσα θετικά σχόλια ή ασπεκτς που να το καθιστούν ιδιαίτερο ως βιβλίο. Το προτεινω σε οποίον γουστάρει βιβλία μυστηρίου αλλα θεωρώ ότι δε χάνεις και κάτι αν δεν το διαβάσεις.

This book is about major issues, the overpopulated world and the lack of resources in the future for the coming generations blended with the famous work of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Could almost relate to the current pandemic and bioterrorism. The literature and art references given are very informative and exciting. I loved the ending. This book is my second favorite out of the Dan Brown series.

Kao u prethodnim romanima, Dan Brown i u „Infernu“ ostaje vjeran intrigantim i kontroverznim temama. Dok njegov prethodni roman ,,Da Vincijev kod“ pokušava razotkriti prošlost drugačiji od one u koju vjerujemo, „Inferno“ progovara koliko je naša budućnost neizvjesna. Ovaj misteriozni triler objedinjuje klasičnu talijansku umjetnost, književnost, povijest i znanost u uzbudljivu priču u kojoj profesor simbologije, Robert Langdon otkriva niz kodova koji su djelo znanstvenika, opsjednutog Danteovom „Božanstvenom komedijom“ i krajem svijeta. Kao u ostalim romanima, Brown u „Infernu“ je uspio spojiti povijesne i kulturne činjenice s aktualnim društvenim problemima te ih ukomponirati u neizvjesnu atmosferu puno prevrata i zagonetki kroz povijesne gradove, skulpture i slike. Uzbudljiva fabula s nizom iznenađenja čitatelje drži u neizvjesnosti, ali u isto vrijeme tjera na promišljanje o temama morala i etike, progovarajući o temi prenapučenost s kojom se planet suočava postavljajući makjavelističko pitanje ,,Ako je jedini uvjet da ljudska vrsta opstane brisanje 1/3 stanovništva, bi li to učinio?", odnosno u kojoj mjeri cilj opravdava sredstvo. Radnja započinje buđenjem profesora Langdona u bolnici bez ikakvog sjećanja na prethodna dva dana i razloga zašto je u bolnici. Vrlo brzo saznaje da su vizije koje mu se pojavljuju u snu zapravo njegova sjećanja koja je izgubio te ih odluči poslušati, vodeći se vizijom žene koja govori „Traži i pronaći ćeš“. Udruživši se s doktoricom Siennom Brooks kreće u utrku s vremenom kako bi razotkrili smrtonosnu globalnu zavjeru. Inferno se osim problema prenapučenosti dotiče tema društvene odgovornosti i transhumanizma. Usprkos teškim temama i velikom broju stranica, knjiga se brzo čita i potiče na razmišljanje o važnim problemima s kojima se svjetsko stanovništvo suočava. Ono u čemu je Dan Brown odličan definitivno je spajanje akcije s povijesti, umjetnošću i zemljopisom pa tako u ovom Romanu imate priliku zaviriti u fantastične lokacije, poput Firence, Venecije i Istanbula te naučiti ponešto o svakome od njih. Iako sam uistinu uživala čitati „Inferna” te mu dodijelila visku ocjenu, smatram kako je Brown pretjerao sa spominjanjem marki poput Brioni, BMW, Plume Paris, Armani i Harris Tweed koje ne služe priči već ostavljaju dojam komercijalne pozadine djela. Osim toga, iako se lako čita u trenutcima je radnja prerazvučena, pogotovo izlaganjem predugih opisa koji nemaju neki značaj za praćenje sam priče. Bilo kako bilo, „Inferno“ je knjiga koja će svakako potaknuti na razmišljanje, al ujedno zainteresirati svojom uzbudljivom i neizvjesnom pričom.

!!!!CONTAINS SPOILER!!!!

It wasn't bad but I think the author just rushed the ending
I mean....the book speaks about eugenetics with huge philosophical repercussions on human race, Übermensch and Nitsche and all that but in the end everything ends with a shoulder raise and a "ok whatever...there will be someone brilliant and visionary at some point that will take charge of that problem and will decide for the entire human race cause human race is unable to decide for itself"
Well done Dan Brown, really a smart ending. It would have been more interesting to read of a sequel to this story and not about how Dan Brown sees human race judgment

Regarding Dan brown books , I really like the way of how he blends facts and fiction together, reading his books , its quite difficult to say , whether it is fact or fiction,
Coming to " Inferno" one can find the same zeal and zest as we find in the remaining books of Dan Brown, Introducing Robert Langdon, in a very feeble stage , with all his memory of the past few hours gone, the book introduces a stage of mystery and thrill right from the very beginning, taking us through an exhilarating ride filled with thrill and betrayal..

It is indeed a good read, and one will find it utterly amazing

Un poco migliore rispetto a Crypto o La verità del ghiaccio. E' un romanzo potenzialmente coinvolgente, avvincente, ma resto comunque poco attratto dall'action-thriller: troppe peripezie, troppi spostamenti sfiancanti e poco credibili in poco tempo, troppi colpi di fortuna che sorridono sempre e comunque al protagonista. E' esagerato e urta leggermente i nervi con le sue dinamiche sempre ai limiti tra credibilità e assurdo. Meno peripezie, più semplicità e più realismo darebbero un gusto molto diverso e migliore, ma evidentemente lo scrittore è affezionato a questo filone che ha i suoi estimatori che giustamente lo apprezzano.

Un thriller che si svolge in 24 ore con un buon ritmo, ma con molte lacune. Prima fra tutte la velocità degli spostamenti da Washington a Firenze, da Firenze a Venezia, da Venezia a Instanbul: tutto in 24 ore seguito a vista da autorità locali e non, con una capacità di pensiero e riflessioni incredibili, senza neanche un cedimento fisico/fisiologico. E dopo tutti questi spostamenti, alla fine del romanzo, Langdon corre a piedi per mezza Instanbul.
Poco realistico.
E che io sappia non esistono maschere mortuarie originali di Dante.

Jeg var fanget i en læsestorm hvor kun denne bog i hele min verden. Kunne simpelthen ikke lade være med at læse i bogen! Desværre er plottet helt gået opløsning til sidst hvor klimakset peakede for over hundreder sider siden.
Dan brown holder dig fast næsten hele vejen og jeg er betaget af hans historiske referencer i bogen der underbygger historien.
Han har trods alt lavet pageturner her så 2 stjerner er hårdt - men der er altså ALT for mange sider i bogen.

I didn't expect it! It was hard trying to go alongside Robert and his "amnesia" without knowing the real events. The museum part made my heart almost beat out of my chest when one of the guys that were following him the woman (I forget her name) fell through the painting and the museum was full of people.

This is a really terrific book. I think people forget how things started when they talk about current books by Patricia Cornwell. Back in the beginning, she was doing something no other woman was doing, and she did it really well. So well that she inspired folks like me. I figgered if she could get away with writing the kinds of books I like to read,

In spite of the fact that the ending is rather anticlimactic (i.e. the plague not being very deadly at all), the book still remains exciting throughout and thoroughly enjoyable. Unlike Brown's other titles (namely "angels and demons" and "the DaVinci code"), Inferno focuses much more on Dante's divine comedy. I found myself fascinated by the deep-dive that Brown gives us into Dante's work (which I had previously known very little about).

As always is the case with Dan Brown books, I never find the ending exciting enough.

The flow of the book and the way everything builds up is trademark Dan Brown but ending was disappointing as always!

Not my favorite from Dan Brown, but still a solid entry. But let's just be real, topping the previous books in this series was never going to be easy. So yeah this was still really good and I recommend giving it a try.

The overall progression of plot was interesting with a couple of good twists. However, the ending made it seem like the entire story was unnecessary. The ending could have been better. The ending is not satisfactory.
