I appreciate that this is entirely my own personal 'taste and fancy', but this is my review and it is sometimes difficult to retain total objectivity. This utterly set my teeth on edge after a while. The entire book is read in American English, the exception being the Italians, whose accents were almost risible in parts, and with such verbal horrors of 'niche' continually pronounced to rhyme with 'pitch', and 'fertile' to rhyme with 'turtle'. The only non-European character is Langdon himself, so I would have expected some effort on the part of the narrator to reflect this. For Audible, however, the performance can make or break the enjoyment of a book, and, in this, the American narration spoiled this to a certain extent. It is not possible to say more than this without spoiling some element of the caduceus-like plot. Whilst Langdon is delightfully the same, he is supported by a cast of well drawn characters who are at once believable yet, in most cases, fundamentally flawed. Suffice it to say that Robert Langdon, a character who needs no introduction, is back to what he does best, racing across Europe in a desperate attempt to thwart the baddie who the baddie actually is, however, is swathed in layers of smoke, mirrors and downright misdirection until well into the story. A prР“В©cis of the plot isn't really possible without spoiling the whole book. It is not great literature, but, then again, it never claims to be. This is Dan Brown back to his best a racy thriller with more twists, turns and total plot inversions than any one book could possibly be expected to contain. However, I suspect his secular underskirt is showing a bit more than usual.

If you like Dan Brown's style you will probably enjoy the book. There is nothing to detract from his performance. Amnesia brought an interesting twist to Langdon's task at hand - to safe the world (once again). What is clear however is that Robert Langdon has become a 21st century James Bond, anti-establishment in certain ways, ethically indestructible and for the first time he was not ahead in his game. I also don't think the way he used misdirection as a device to create suspense with, is very convincing. In certain ways, he seems the be the Phillip Pulman of adults. By now, I must confess, I am getting a bit irritated with the subtle undertones and the secular humanist agenda that Brown puts forward. There is a lot of suspense and action - enough to keep you glued to the book.

Robert Langdon is the expert par excellance on symbology and the way he interprets a 'text' is more or less the only correct way. Rather than taking history seriously, he takes the urban legends that has arisen seriously. In many ways Brown's Inferno is same old same old. Lines are blurred as it seems to be the human race on its own, without God or tradition, to make decisions about its future. What is interesting is how Brown leaves behind a feeling that the 'genius villain' of this story was not so cruel. Now Dan Brown pushes a secular humanist agenda by using Dante's Divine Comedy to introduce us to another mad man with an apocalyptic agenda.

Am looking forward to seeing who is cast as Sienna.Р”Р„pocalyptic suspense in another esoteric milieuР”Р‡irst it was the Roman Catholic Church and the election of the pope (Angels and Demons), then the so-called Jesus dynasty (The Da Vinci Code), then the Free Masons (The Lost Symbol) that were critiqued, while keeping his readers nailed to their armchairs in suspense.

Having said that though, I did enjoy Inferno and am looking forward to it being made into a film with Tom Hanks again as Robert and directed by Ron Howard. Many times during the story I felt a little let down by the narration. When Sienna reveals who and what she really is. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The anger and some of the interpretation of the dialogue were lacking. Sometimes I felt the narration lacked passion as far as the characters were concerned. I would love to have him at one of my dinner parties.Р”Вid the narration match the pace of the story? My favourite character is Robert Langdon.
