My parents bought me the book "Inferno" by Dan Brown, and in just over one week I've finished it already. It's another book with the famed Professor Robert Langdon as the star of this story full of mystery, artwork and religious themes like "Angels & Demon's" and "The Da Vinci Code."Reading the story prompts many thoughts from the reader, picturing the world in its last spins before all humanity is lost... unless the characters in the story can find a way to make our humanly lives lengthened.
In a world that's overpopulated, we are destined to be an extinct race within 100-years unless a new "black death" or "AIDS" plague ravishes the world community, bringing world population to one-third of its current number.
Because of the stress humans have on natural resources - waterways, forrest-chopping and more, we will all strive to be in existence no matter the costs. We will steal to feed ourselves and kill to defend in humanities strive to exist.
The book got its name as it centres around Dante's "The Divine Comedy". Though it may sound strange, the story is a stark reminder of how we cope in times of trial, one man for himself - it's almost apocalyptic!
Not very often do I find a story, particulary one of 500-pages, that I can read so quick! Usually a book that size I lose interest quite frequently and it would take me 6-months to finish reading, if at all. But a book full of historical facts, artwork and real-life corporations makes it a fully involved book one can barely put down!
As "Angels & Demons" and "The Da Vinci Code" readers will know, it is a book that makes one question aspects of their faith, which can only be a good thing if you believe MORE once finished... though it can make one think too much at times, and some people may feel threatened by subjects questioning ones faith and beliefs.
A great book, one of the best I've read... now I just sit and pray some great director will take this novel on as a movie.
