Three books to try if you liked Inferno by Dan Brown: Readers who also like authors like Clive Cussler or James Rollins should enjoy Dan Brown’s work. Who might like this novel: Readers who find themselves loving Adventure Fiction or Historical Fiction should find enjoyment out of this novel as well as readers who like books with futuristic science concepts. Overall I was very impressed with this book and have high hopes for his earlier novels. Harvard professor, Robert Langdon, the protagonist of this story, wakes up in a hospital room in Florence, Italy, with a head injury and he has no idea how he got there.
I am aware that I will have to read more Dan Brown novels to have a better judgement of his books, and maybe I should reevaluate this book after I have read more. Inferno, by Dan Brown, is a 2013 thriller mystery novel, a conspiracy theory about the end of the world and treasure hunt kind of novel. I found myself skimming these parts to get back to the meat of the book. These scenes felt disruptive and disjointed. That is part of his profession and should be expected! It doesn’t help that these descriptions seem to happen in the middle of a chase scene or before another clue is revealed. I found it unnecessary to explain Langdon’s knowledge of obscure facts about art and history. The audience knows that Langdon is a Symbology expert it is mentioned multiple times throughout the novel. I found that these segments slowed down the flow of the narrative, which I found disappointing. Brown jumps into Langdon’s past to explain why he knows a particular fact. and (of course) a shady secret organization gives the novel its much need conspiracy that propels it forward.
Dan Brown mixes classic works of literature and art with modern scientific concepts, making a great blend for adventure fiction. What I thought about it: I always forget how much I love adventure fiction until I read adventure fiction! Inferno was a very quick read and flowed very well. With enemies at every corner who will Langdon trust? Will time run out before Robert Langdon can put the puzzle together and save humanity one more time? But, he soon finds himself hunting an adversary that uses Dante’s Inferno to hide clues to his ultimate catastrophic goal. He doesn’t know who they are or why they want him. Now Langdon is on the run from people who want to kill him. Immediately after waking he is almost gunned down again in the hospital. Brown incorporated this classic work in his adventure/thriller novels.ģ0-Second Synopsis: Robert Langdon wakes in a hospital with and injury to his head and unable to remember how he got there or what happened over the last few days. I really enjoyed reading Dante’s Inferno in college and wanted to see how Mr. Why I picked it: I have never read a Dan Brown book before and this one really caught my eye. Use these discussion questions with your high school students to help them. Three Words that describe the book: Adventurous, Historical, Scientific Dan Browns Inferno is a fast-paced thriller that takes readers on a journey to save the world.
