Inferno

Author: Dan Brown
Stars: 4
Review by: Jambob
Although not a literary work, it was fast paced and filled with twists and turns. Much like running through the streets of Florence and the canals of Venice where the story takes place. I have been to both cities several times and enjoyed this book not only for its mysteries, but for the description of the cities and art therein. I felt like I was re-visiting my favorite Italian locales. And if you have not been to Italy, you will want to go after reading this book. Unlike The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, this thriller has less religious symbolism and more to do with the issue of world population. I am getting wise to his wiles as I began looking for the double crosses early on and figured a few out. But it is a roller coaster ride through Italy that will have you breathless and wanting to stop for a gelato!
