INFERNO continues Brown’s tightly plotted, though rather
incredulous, tales. The intrepid Robert
Langdon is in Florence suffering from a head wound and amnesia. His foil is the intelligent
and beautiful Sienna. Together they must
save the world.
Brown’s characters are fairly wooden and never quite become
knowable. His digressions to tell us about
the history or architecture of the places the unfolding plot takes Robert and
Sienna are interesting and generally accurate.
It is not necessary to know anything about Dante’s Divine Comedy as we
are told all that is needful to follow the plot.
Those who enjoy a convoluted and constantly changing plot
line will enjoy this romp through Florence, Venice and Istanbul chasing a flawed
master mind out to destroy the world.
