REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

Against the backdrop of Florence, Italy– center of the Renaissance and birthplace of the most harrowing description of hell ever wrought, (Thanks, Dante) Robert Langdon wakes up in hospital with his memory wiped and a riddle to solve with implications for all of mankind.

Follow him from here to Venice to Constantinople as Dan Brown again instills the desperate desire to travel with fast-paced, plot-driven good fun for history and classic lit nerds who love to be reminded of what they read in their college days.
