A great installment in the Robert Langdon series. I love these books! Granted, I have a MA in art history, so I'm sure that makes me biased. But Dan Brown is a master of building suspense, creating drama, and throwing a quick art lesson in to boot. The biggest problem with Inferno (other than the not-so-subtle implications that women simply can't get enough of the handsome professor *eyeroll*) is the fact that I don't have enough money to get on a plane and visit Italy. Since this book serves as one long advertisement for the galleries of Florence, I am saddened by this reality. Are these books literature? No. Are the characters fully fleshed out? Not especially. But who cares...these books will take you for a ride. If you liked Angels and Demons and the DaVinci Code, you will LOVE this book.
