Berly | Apr 15, 2024 |   Nevertheless, I have to be fair. It is a page turner; the chapters are terribly well paced. That's by the way the sole reason I gave the book two instead of one stars. The plot and especially the characters are incredibly implausible. Let me give a lecture on renaissance art and architecture while running for my life. I know you want nothing to be what it seems, but the schemes these people come up with are so hilariously elaborate. Normally I would like these kind of plot twists, but here they just make no sense.

 "In short, Dan Brown’s “Inferno” is the kind of satisfying escapist read that summers were made for."  ... there is the sense of play that saves Brown's books from ponderousness, even when he is waxing wise about some ancient mystery or architectural wonder. "Unfortunately, at other times the book’s musty passageways seem to be not so much holding history up as sagging under its weight." "To the great relief of anyone who enjoys him, Mr. Brown winds up not only laying a breadcrumb trail of clues about Dante (this is “Inferno,” after all) but also playing games with time, gender, identity, famous tourist attractions and futuristic medicine."  Renowned author Dan Brown hated the critics. Ever since he had become one of the world’s top renowned authors they had made fun of him. [...] The critics said his writing was clumsy, ungrammatical, repetitive and repetitive. They said it was full of unnecessary tautology. They said his prose was mired in a sea of mixed metaphors.

Favorite idea from his talk -- Brown says Langdon is smarter than he is and people say that can't be so, you made the character!! To which Brown replies that it takes Langdon no time at all to put things together and draw amazing, insightful conclusions, but it takes him days to write it. LOL (
