PERSONAL REVIEWS

Oh yet again Dan Brown starts with the suicide of Zobrist in the epilogue. Seriously? Can’t Dan live with everyone alive? Okay coming on to the book. The book has a very interesting plot and has been related to Dante’s Seven Rings of Hell so perfectly that a person really believes that something like a hell does exist. Our protagonist Robert Langdon has a very difficult task in the book and he does not know what awaits him ahead. The ending is not as one would expect but is so brilliant and amazing that the person is really sad to keep down the book. The book has such amazing turns in it that cause the jaw to hang out open in the air for seconds. Adapting to the new scenario is tough compared to what you believed and thought the story ahead would be.

I would rate the book 4.75 out of 5.It would definitely had been given 5 but you see after reading The Da Vinci Code I can’t give it a 5 star rating.
