Langdon only survives because of the fast thinking of his other doctor, the beautiful Sienna Brooks. He has suffered a head wound from being shot and has barely regained consciousness before a woman arrives, gunning down one of his doctors in front of him. Or where he is, as it turns out, when he looks out the window and recognizes the skyline of Florence. Robert Langdon, the esteemed Harvard professor who seems to know everything, wakes up in a hospital bed. So my expectations were extremely low when I started reading this book. And a bit afraid that Brown would ruin Dante’s masterpiece. And when I heard it was to use Dante’s The Divine Comedy, specifically Inferno, as it’s inspiration, I felt even more skeptical. So when the news came out about the fourth novel, I felt skeptical. It felt formulaic and as something we’ve read before but (even more) unrealistic. And then the third novel came out, The Lost Symbol. And all was well and good and we were all so very excited. After that became so extremely popular, Angel and Demons, his previous novel about The Da Vinci Code‘s main character Robert Langdon became quite popular in it’s own right. Dan Brown swept us all off our feet with The Da Vinci Code.
