I have read a few of Dan Brown's previous novels, and so I knew what to expect going into this one. I enjoy his books because of their fast pace, suspense, and surprises. This is a fairly long book, but I found it easy to read because of the quick pace and short chapters. Some parts about the history behind Dante's Inferno began to get boring and redundant to me. But it still made me want to take a trip to Italy and see all the places in the book. It was not predictable to me and kept me guessing till the end.
