Inferno and Summer Reading

Dan Brown has brought us another Robert Langdon novel, that was on the best seller lists before it was even published (thanks to advanced ordering)!  I read my copy in just a few days, as it is another page turner.  I don't want to give too much of the plot away, as the suspense it what makes the Langdon novels so much fun to read.  I will say this, I was not crazy about the amnesia plot line, as it seemed a little contrived.  The Da Vinci Code is still my favorite in the Langdon series, but I liked Inferno better then Angels and Demons and The Lost Symbol.  See the complete plot summary below.

From the Publisher: In his international blockbusters The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown masterfully fused history, art, codes, and symbols. In this riveting new thriller, Brown returns to his element and has crafted his highest-stakes novel to date.

In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces . . . Dante’s Inferno.

Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust . . . before the world is irrevocably altered.

On the right hand side of this page you will see all of my suggested summer reading lists.  They can also be found on the Peck website with the summer projects.  I will post the books I plan to review on this blog next school year in August, but in the mean time enjoy my suggested summer reading material.   I hope you all have a safe and restful summer, and I will see you back here in the fall!
