Inferno Book Review
Ever since diving into Dan Brown’s other works, this one was on the must-read list. And when it popped up at a book fair (on discount, no less!), the deal practically sealed itself.
Let’s just say Inferno delivered all the expectations—and a bit more.
First off, Dan Brown does what he does best: mixing thrilling fiction with fascinating bits of history. It’s like a fun history lesson, but without the yawns. This book takes readers through some iconic places around the world, dropping details about famous poets, sculptures, and architecture—like who built what, why it’s so celebrated, and all those juicy backstories. Honestly, the way the real world gets tied into the plot? Genius.
Oh, and the cover? Perfect. Simple, striking, and completely in sync with the story. Pair that with a no-nonsense title like Inferno, and it’s instantly eye-catching. Although, let’s be real—the fact that it’s written by Dan Brown was reason enough to dive in. 😄
Now, about the start. Wow. Talk about making an entrance. There are gunshots and chaos right from the very first chapter. No slow buildup here. The action grabs hold of you instantly and doesn’t let go.
Dan Brown’s writing style is another reason this book hits the mark. It’s immersive—almost cinematic. The descriptions aren’t overdone, and yet it’s so easy to picture every moment like an HD movie playing in the mind. It’s as if readers are tagging along, seeing everything unfold right in front of them.
And the plot? Oh, the plot! This is where the book truly shines. It’s packed with suspense, mystery, and twists at every turn. Some you might see coming; others will completely blindside you. Either way, it keeps the pages turning, right to the end.
The characters, too, are just as impressive. Robert Langdon—the iconic symbologist-slash-detective—is as brilliant as ever, easily claiming a top spot on the “favorite fictional detectives” list. But it’s not just him. The side characters add depth and color, and there’s just the right number of them—enough to keep the story vibrant without it getting overwhelming.
And the ending. Oh boy, the ending. Let’s just say “unexpected” doesn’t even begin to describe it. It completely surprised me (and that’s saying something!). It’s my second-favorite part of the book, right after the plot.
Overall, for me, there was nothing to dislike in this book. Everything was just perfect.
Conclusion
Rating: 5 / 5; Our Rating Guide

For anyone who’s loved Digital Fortress, The Girl Who Lived, The Goodbye Man, or anything similar, Inferno is an absolute treat. Go grab a copy—seriously, it’s worth it!
