Inferno (L) : BROWN DAN: desertcart.in: Books Review: Top knotch and gripping - Dan Brown fans are never disappointed with Mr Langdon and his adventures and this one is no different. Absolutely thrilling and gripping from the beginning to the end and what a fantastic conclusion it has got. Some of the ideas in his books are really surprising on how close they are to real life issues to the world and what some of the environmentalists think of it. Crazy read and a thrilling finish! Review: Story of a failed Mission - Recently completed reading the book so will put down in short the prose and cons of the book, Prose:: 1. The story is gripping from the very first page, which will stick to the book to read several pages on the first go. 2. Packed with thrilling moments, actions, chase and twists. 3. Enormous detailing about the historical characters and places and artifacts. 4. Lot os detailing about the locations that was covered through out the book, if you have a google map open side by side when reading the book you will feel like you are travelling (read running) with Langdon thru different European beautiful cities. 5. Some twists are so un-obvious after reading the book you will rethink the whole thing to grasp what just happened. 6. From start to page around 100 story is prety fast flowing. From there to next around 300 pages are slow moving, again last 100-150 pages are filled with twist and thrill. Cons:: 1. Way too much detailing. At some point you will loose patience for abruptly changing the flow to bring some detailing of something which was not required at that place of the story. Imagine Langdon entered a 2000 sqr feet room from one side and leaving from another side, the whole process can be well pictured in a 4,5 page description, but you will read up 25 pages and by the time he leaves the room you will forget why he was in the room in the first place (:| 2. The connection of the subject with the theme is not suitable. So connecting over population with Dante's poem some people may not find justified. 3. I am still not convinced why the villain, who just wants to do something bad will spend so much effort to create a symbolical trail and clue for some one to discover what he is upto. He could have just done that without letting any one know. 4. After all the chase of 600+ pages the mission actually failed (spoliers alert) But over all very good book to know lot about history and arts and about different places and museums with lot of captivating moments.

Top knotch and gripping

A must read for thriller lovers.
The book was delivered to me in tip-top condition. The story is so gripping you wouldnt want to leave it. The ending could have been better but at the circumstances ( the story ) nothing better could have been expected. The book will keep you at the edge of your seat. You will keep on wanting for more! The language used is extremely lucid and fluid.In his international blockbusters The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown masterfully fused history, art, codes, and symbols. In this riveting new thriller, Brown returns to his element and has crafted his highest-stakes novel to date.In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology, Robert Langdon, is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces…Dante’s Inferno. Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust…before the world is irrevocably altered.

Breathtaking......
This book was absolutely stunning. The narrative amazed me at so many levels. I didn't get bored once from the beginning till the end. Dan Brown has once again written a fabulous masterpiece. The thing that I like the most about his novels is the inclusion of history combined with the art and symbols which makes the story even more thrilling. The details of the plot were so good. Everything matched so perfectly in the end. I don't think I could find a loophole if I tried.

Humanity is the disease , Inferno is the cure...
Inferno is one of the best Dan Brown book and the reason is that is deals with a problem that the modern world is going to face in near future in the typical tone of Brown's breathtaking storytelling with the crisp mix of symbology, architecture, history and thrill. I can guarantee you that after reading this you will question your own existence. Would you push a button that would kill half of human population knowing that if you don't the entire human species is going to get extinct in less than 100 years. Only reason I gave this 4/5 was because I personally didn't like the ending.

Fast, well written plot
I was wondering halfway through the book as to how the plot will fit in a medieval symbol professor in a thriller but Dan Brown pulled it off well. The interesting tidbits and trivia about ancient buildings and events were great. It's like actually visiting the place with a super knowledgeable guide . A very good book and though I was sorely disappointed with the previous work, The lost symbol, Inferno is highly recommended.

Un thriller rapide mouvementé qui incite le lecteur à continuer à lire jusqu'au bout. Ce livre est dans la meme lignée qu'Anges et Démons. L'auteur adresse le problème de la surpopulation mondiale sans pour autant y plonger dedans et livre à la fois une solution extreme mais aussi une lueur d'espoir. Le style d'écriture reste du Dan Brown, facile et efficace sans être forcément stimulant. Un bon livre pour des vacances sans prise de tete.

I recommend 100% the seller. With the cellphone screens my eyesight have deteriorated very fast. So the large print books are great for me. I just wished that the publishers paid more attention to this. The book is in perfect, almost pristine condition. And if you like informed and exciting thrillers and walk through the streets and museums of Florence, Inferno is a very good option, and Dan Brown is a great and cultured guide. (Note: Inferno it's not about hell, but Dante's masterpiece).

Zugegeben, der neue Robert Langdon folgt vom Aufbau und leider auch der teils trivialen Schreibweise exakt den ersten drei Abenteuern. Dennoch macht es Spaß, das Buch zu lesen! Natürlich stimmt auch die Kritik, dass Dan Brown mal wieder mit Wikipedia Wissen um sich wirft und einem die Ausflüge in die italienische Kunstgeschichte auf die Nerven gehen können. Allerdings sollte das inzwischen jedem Leser vorher klar sein. Denn sich darüber zu beschweren, dass man im Gefolge von Robert Langdon in Florence, Venedig und Istambul eine Ladung Kunstgeschichte "light" abbekommt, ist ungefähr so sinnvoll, wie sich nach dem Besuch eines US Superhelden Films darüber aufzuregen, dass da irgendwelche Typen in bunten Kostümen durch die Luft fliegen. You simply get what you want! Dan Brown bedient einfach den Geschmack und die Erwartungshaltung seiner Fans. Eine Mischung aus kunsthistorischer Schnitzeljagd, Reiseführer, Verschwörungstheorie, geheimnisvollen Organisationen, die kein Mensch vorher wirklich kannte und wie üblich dem verrückten aber brillianten Bösewicht, der die Welt vernichten will. Wer mehr erwartet, sollte vielleicht statt des Infernos von Dan lieber das Inferno von Dante lesen! In zwei Punkten weicht das neue Buch etwas von den Vorgängern ab. Zum einen wird der Leser eine Spur zu oft durch wechselnde "Wahrheiten" verwirrt: Die diversen Protagonisten teilen sich in die "Guten" und die "Bösen", doch bald sind eigentlich die Bösen die Guten, dann doch wieder die Bösen, dann wieder die Guten und zuletzt wieder....? Um das zu erreichen werden selektive Beschreibungen gewählt, und der Leser nicht nur im Unklaren gelassen, sondern bewusst vom Autor in die Irre geführt. Das ist das erste mal noch nett, nach dem dritten oder vierten mal verliert man etwas die emotionale Bindung zu den Figuren. Who cares who they are and what they do! Nicht gut für ein Buch. Man kennt das von Dan Brown, doch diesmal beschleicht einen der Eindruck, dass er ohne diese Tricks keine wirkliche Spannung im Roman halten könnte. Der zweite Unterschied ist ein eher konstruktives, fast versöhnliches Ende, wo Gut und Böse fließend ineinander übergehen. Vielleicht Dan Browns Entschuldigung für die vielen Winkelzüge davor, vielleicht eine Folge der Vorlage Dantes: Die Reise durch Inferno und Fegefeuer bis ins Paradies. Aber auch wenn Dante, sein Werk und all die anderen Figuren und besuchten Orte nur Mittel zum Zweck sind, um die Schnitzeljagd möglichst über 400 Seiten gehen zu lassen, so sollte man schon zugeben, dass die Puzzleteile insgesamt ein stimmungsvolles Bild ergeben, das eben typisch ist für die Art, wie Dan Brown seine Geschichten erzählt. Das letzte Buch mit seiner eher trivialen USA Symbolik hat mich nicht wirklich angesprochen. Triviales Buch und trivialer Hintergrund ist einfach zu viel. Aber hier wird der Leser zu einem entscheidenden Wendepunkt der europäischen Geschichte entführt und mit der Kunstgeschichte von Florenz und den Ausflügen nach Venedig und Istambul nett unterhalten. Es macht Lust darauf, da mal auf die Spuren Robert Langdons zu gehen und eine Reise zu buchen. Und was kann man mehr von einem clever geschriebenen Roman erwarten? Einfach gute Unterhaltung!
