I think it's the time to read Robert Langdon's latest adventure :)

It was good, but not best of his books. Maybe it repeats things that have happened earlier adventures or Brown is old and familiar, so I don't meet so much new stuff. Of course it happens usually with other writers too. I think it is satisfactory story and time is well spent.
I liked what the villain in this book thought up! But I found myself enjoying Angels & Demons as well as The Da Vinci Code way more than this. I guess it's because I'm a little more critical compared to before? I don't know.But I hope you'll enjoy reading this. :)
I can't get into this book. I suspect it's partly because Brown is repeating himself a lot, so while Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code were relatively new to me, this makes me role my eyes sometimes with how much it's repeating patterns from the previous books.Also, The first two Langdon books were dealing with religious problems and as I'm interested in religion and Christianity especially, I enjoyed this aspect of the books a lot. Inferno is about Dante though. I'm ashamed I haven't read The Divine Comedy yet, I'm definitelly going to, but I'm not going to do it because of Inferno.
So far, it's tempting for me to give up on it, but I don't like to give up on reading books, so I'll try to finish it.
I agree, he always uses the same patterns in this book and that is boring. But if you try not to think about Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code, it is quite thrilling. And it made me want to visit every city Langdon goes to.
