Inferno: (Robert Langdon Book 4)

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.
