About this ebook

THE #1 GLOBAL BESTSELLER
'A swirl of big ideas and non-stop action' New York Times

Florence: Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon awakes in a hospital bed with no recollection of where he is or how he got there. Nor can he explain the origin of the macabre object that is found hidden in his belongings.

A threat to his life will propel him and a young doctor, Sienna Brooks, into a breakneck chase across the city. Only Langdon's knowledge of the hidden passageways and ancient secrets that lie behind its historic facade can save them from the clutches of their unknown pursuers.

With only a few lines from Dante's Inferno to guide them, they must decipher a sequence of codes buried deep within some of the Renaissance's most celebrated artworks to find the answers to a puzzle which may, or may not, help them save the world from a terrifying threat . . .

The entire storyline is laden with prologue, epilogue to fill pages and chapters. Every instance will acquaint you with unnecessary details of the protagonist's life, most of which hold no bearing to the story. A very poorly written novel. It could have easily been half the book of what it has been written. If you're reading a novel for the first time you may like it. For me, I would like to be paid for the unnecessary hours I had to put in to read it through. Dan Brown, success has made you complacent.

Became extremely frustrated with Langdons/Browns constant travel log in minute detail. But stuck with the book cos it cost almost 9 quid! Enjoyed Langdons other adventures, unfortunately, this was one adventure to far! Doubt I'll buy another Dan Brown. Sorry Mr Brown, you've seen the last of my pennies.

You get what you can expect from Dan Brown. Good pace, thrilling read. However, the theories around population growth are severely lacking... We are not in exponential growth any more, as socioeconomic conditions rise, birth rates go down (everywhere !). The battle for our time will be to make people's lives better up until the point where population won't grow any more... Big challenge, but not as gloomy as depicted in this novel.
