Repetitive. Pedantic.

Yet another “book-length scavenger hunt” featuring Robert Langdon, professor of symbology at Harvard University.

Yet another beautiful, talented young woman — Sienna Brooks — somehow pushed into Tom Hank’s life.

Inferno received mixed reviews from critics. But the important and thoughtful plot did keep me going.

Scenes in Florence and Istanbul kept me going, as well.

If you liked the other Dan Brown books (as I did), you’ll like this clone.

Sony Pictures has dated a film adaptation to be released on December 18, 2015 with Ron Howard as director, David Koepp adapting the screenplay and Tom Hanks reprising his role as Robert Langdon.
