I've just finished Inferno, and have say I was disappointed.
Although, it was fast paced and hooked me in quite quickly, it soon became obvious that the format was exactly the same as the last three Robert Langton offerings, with him rushing round various historic locations with a vaguely attractive side-kick in tow trying to work out not very subtle clues to un-masking the nefarious villain and thwarting his darstardly plan.
I expect the tourist boards of Florence and Venice are rubbing their hands together in glee at the thought of all the Dan Brown enthusiasts flocking to their cities to follow in Langtons frantic footsteps, though to give him his due he obviously knows his stuff and researches thoroughly.
What bugged me the most was the last few chapters. Not wishing to spoil it for others, but it fizzled out most unsatisfactorily and left me thinking, "Well what was all the fuss about then?"
Do feel free to disagree with me entirely!
