Welcome back Robert Langdon. I thought we'd lost you when I finished reading the Lost Symbol, but you were back in action in Inferno.
The concept is interesting for this book. The population growth of the earth is unsustainable and something will need to happen or we'll use up every natural resource and eradicate our species. Those are facts that are currently being researched and discussed by those projecting the fate of our planet's future.
Throughout the entire book, you're left with the feeling that the eccentric mastermind behind the "solution" is going to create something that will kill and kill in great numbers. And because as a reader, I didn't question that assumption, I was intrigued by the final solution.
The other great character in this book is Dante. We've all heard of Dante's Inferno and his journey into hell, but very few of us have read it. Inferno touched on Dante in the way The DaVinci Code touched on Leonardo, making the reader want to find out more for themselves.
I can see Tom Hanks getting another job out of this action thriller and look forward to the next book from Dan Brown, hopefully coming soon.
