My review:
Apparently, Dan Brown has clearly outdone himself with this book. Although I think Angels & Demons is the best among the series so far and this only comes second in my list. This is simply based on my opinion of the story. Truth be told, there's only a tiny bit of a gap between the two. But this book is really cool!
The story starts with Robert Langdon waking up to find himself in a hospital with tubes and all. He has this really nasty headache and the one thing he could always count on, his memory, can't help him. He wakes up to find company, a female doctor named Sienna Brooks. As Robert struggles to recall how on earth he ended up in Italy when he knows he's supposed to be in a lecture in Harvard. A woman named Vayentha comes soon in the hospital and goes after Robert Langdon, for reasons he doesn't know or understand. Yet. The story unfolds further to reveal a character named The Provost, the man who hired Vayentha, and owns a boat called The Mendacium, that houses a team of specialists for, well, Mendacium. Moving on, the book introduces yet another character. He's a Dante fanatic and created his very own Inferno.
