Inferno - Dan Brown Review

Inferno is the fourth novel in the Robert Langdon series and much like, Angel & Demons, the Da Vinci Code and the Lost Symbol, it's a thrilling mystery adventure that takes you on a wild ride.

The novel starts with Robert awaking in the hospital with no recollection of how he got there. One of the doctors that is looking after him, Sienna Brooks informs him that he stumbled into the Emergency room with a concussion due to having been grazed in the head by a bullet. He also learns that he is in Florence, Italy and that he cannot recall the past three days.

A spiky haired assassin then walks in and shoots one of the doctors that's looking after him but before she can shoot Robert, Sienna grabs him and they make a run for it.

At Sienna's apartment he calls the U.S. consulate and gives them his location. As he waits for someone to show up, he finds a cannister with a bio-hazard symbol on it in his jacket pocket and he and Sienna decide to open it. Inside they find a projector that displays Boticelli's 'Map of Hell' only it has been modified from the original.

They see the spiky haired assassin pull up outside and believe that the U.S. government is out to kill him so they make a run for it again.

Three quarters of the novel is Robert and Sienna deciphering clues while hiding from the assassin, the Florence police and the soldiers that are after them.

Like his other novels there is a giant twist towards the end that you will most likely see coming as Dan Brown leaves little clues throughout the book and you will definitely learn a lot of facts about Florence, the Renaissance and Dante.

There's not much else to say about this novel except that if you enjoyed the other books in the Robert Langdon series then you will most likely enjoy this one and if you didn't then maybe give this one a miss.
