Description

This enhanced edition includes 23 videos of Dan Brown’s research trips and a full length video of Dan Brown’s speech from Inferno’s New York launch, plus stunning colour photography. A must for any Dan Brown fan. SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND Florence: Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon awakes in a hospital bed with no recollection of where he is or how he got there. Nor can he explain the origin of the macabre object that is found hidden in his belongings. A threat to his life will propel him and a young doctor, Sienna Brooks, into a breakneck chase across the city. Only Langdon’s knowledge of the hidden passageways and ancient secrets that lie behind its historic facade can save them from the clutches of their unknown pursuers. With only a few lines from Dante’s The Inferno to guide them, they must decipher a sequence of codes buried deep within some of the Renaissance’s most celebrated artworks to find the answers to a puzzle which may, or may not, help them save the world from a terrifying threat… When it was published in the summer of 2013, Inferno became a global sensation, selling over 15 million copies in hardcover. This new and exclusive illustrated edition illuminates the sights and cities which form the backdrop to Dan Brown’s most thought-provoking and compelling novel yet, and reveals the rich tapestry of history, art and literature which inspired its narrative.

Summary

What the internet says

Aggregated insights from reviews and discussions across the web.

Overall reception: Mixed reception

Dan Brown's Inferno receives decidedly mixed reception from readers, with the illustrated edition offering enhanced visual content including behind-the-scenes videos of Brown's research trips through Italy and a 25-minute book launch presentation. While fans appreciate the fast-paced thriller structure and detailed descriptions of Italian art and architecture in Florence and Venice, many critics find the novel formulaic and repetitive compared to Brown's earlier works like The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons. The book explores themes of overpopulation and bioengineering through a Dante-inspired mystery, but reviewers are sharply divided on the execution, with some praising the suspenseful plot twists while others criticize the predictable structure, weak character development, and unsatisfying ending. Multiple reviewers note that the first 75% of the book feels confusing before revelations in the final quarter, and the movie adaptation was widely considered a disappointment that drastically changed the ending.

What readers loved

  • Meticulously researched descriptions of Italian art, architecture, and historical sites in Florence and Venice
  • Fast-paced narrative with chapter-ending cliffhangers that keep readers engaged
  • Unexpected plot twists in the final quarter of the book, particularly regarding character motivations
  • Thought-provoking exploration of ethical dilemmas around overpopulation, bioengineering, and transhumanism
  • Enhanced edition includes exclusive behind-the-scenes videos of Dan Brown's research trips and book launch presentation
  • Successfully blends art, literature, and history with modern science themes
  • Engaging premise involving Dante's Divine Comedy and cryptic puzzles

Common critiques

  • Overly formulaic structure that closely mirrors Brown's previous novels, making it predictable for returning readers
  • Weak character development with flat, indistinguishable dialogue and personalities that lack depth
  • Excessive info-dumping with long, dry passages describing art and architecture that slow the action, even during chase scenes
  • Repetitive writing style where information and character traits are stated multiple times throughout the book
  • Disappointing and unsatisfying ending that feels sanctimonious, preachy, and leaves readers with a 'so what' feeling
  • The first 75% of the novel is confusing and bewildering, with much of the story revealed to be deliberately misleading
