Robert Langdon is on the run in Florence and in possession of a series of codes, created by a brilliant scientist obsessed with Dante's THE INFERNO that could devastate life on Earth. The plot contains profanity, sexual situations, and violence.
Inhaltswarnung The Plot
If I had a nickel for every time I consumed media about a virus which makes part of the human population sterile to save the world, I'd have two nickels. Watch the show Utopia. It's on Amazon Prime. Don't watch the third season because it's a bad reboot.
A fast paced mystery through the streets of Italy. Dan Brown is a writer who knows how to keep up suspense and weave strands of ancient religious elements into the tapestry of his stories. Not a masterpiece but an enjoyable thriller.
A letdown, like most of his books. I have read four of them now, including Inferno. And except Angels & Demons, which I consider his magnum opus, all of them were mediocre at best. All of them pulp, of course, but pulp can still be entertaining.
Digital Fortress was awful. I guess it was for anyone familiar with cryptography and computers as painful as his Robert Langdon books must be for art historians. Just really, really bad. Da Vinci Code was OK, but the whole story just too over-the-top for me. Angels & Demons was amazing. Something about it just clicked with me and I love this book. That lead me to read Inferno and left me rather disappointed. I shouldn't complain, I guess, because it is a typical Dan Brown. It just didn't click, like A&D did.
