Best I can say for this month‘s #bookspin read is I cleared off a TBR book. It had been left behind by a family member after staying with me. My 2nd Dan Brown and just not impressed. It was like viewing a slideshow of my grandparents‘ European travels. Lots of cathedrals and artwork and little historical anecdotes. Great for a travelogue! But Brown adds a plot that wasn‘t very suspenseful and didn‘t hang together well. Adding a ⭐️ for Dante. 3/5
I picked this as an audiobook because it‘s the only Dan Brown book I haven‘t read yet. Little did I realize it involves issues with overpopulation and the problems with distribution of resources (that could end civilization) and a potential plague/pandemic that might devastate our future😳🥺. Hits close! Not my favorite Brown book but still lots of great art/science facts and enough action to keep you turning the pages! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
With the plot being focused on plagues, an over populated world and PCR tests I felt like I was reading this at the right time. I appreciated the content and discussions much more having lived through 2020.
Dan Brown is also fabulous at setting the scene, I could visualise every piece of architecture he described. In a way I feel like I've been on holiday!
An excellent read that totally engrossed me.
119 of 2020. This was the last book in this series for me to read. I read them out of order which normally drives me nuts, but it was fine in this case. Not my favorite of the series, but a good read nonetheless. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Marathoned the movies randomly earlier this month so thought I'd finally take this book off my TBR shelf and give it a shot!
📖 > 🎥
The movie as a stand alone movie was pretty good. As an adaptation of the book, it‘s TOTAL GARBAGE!!! Two good characters were turned bad. Useless characters were added to the end. The ending was entirely changed. Basically, the book and the movie took a beginning and then did their own things from there. Half the suspense of the book was lost in the first minutes of the movie when they revealed who the “solders” are.
This book is amazingly poignant for this moment in time. No one purposely released COVID 19, but the discussion of viruses, the WHO, even apathy is just so perfect right now. Another great Robert Langdon story, great for escaping the madness of current events. This book made me want to read Dante the first time Around. Maybe this time I‘ll actually read it.

Again, so poignant right now. So true.

You don‘t even need to read a science book to see why America needs to take COVID 19 seriously.

This should be absolutely terrifying to at least half of the Republican Party right now. Just saying.

One last reread before I get to the newest book in the series which I have never read. Here we go.

Read this book last June 2013 but just saw its film adaptation last night. Still need to catch up on Origin this year.

For me it's a journey of an Art University. It makes you to wander places with Robert and Sienna. This is astonishing that you go with the flow and be the part of this adventure.
Why did someone approve text this tiny?!
Just started reading Inferno, but... I think my eyes are gonna hurt.
A sight I rarely see. My husband is reading an actual book! He usually just reads manga on his phone! 😂😂😂
This has been sitting in my #TBR for a very long time. I‘m glad I finally got around to reading it. I have been on a Robert Langdon kick recently. This was another solid entry in the series. At first, I didn‘t think I liked it quite as much. As I continued to read, I was drawn into the story.
I had no idea that we had so much Dan Brown at home.
I started with Inferno (because of a book challange) and let's see if the others find their way into my hands as well^^
I‘ve been working my way through the Robert Langdon books and while they‘re a bit formulaic and repetitive with the protagonist characterization, I love the puzzles and “let‘s save the world” excitement. I really love the art history and architecture research and I‘m constantly looking up pieces the author refers to. I especially love that I get to revisit places I‘ve been in my travels, in this book Florence and Istanbul.
Such an insane story- A genius takes the problem of overpopulation and finds a solution that he‘s trying to force on the world. In the race to stop his cure for overpopulation, we follow our characters on an incredible chase, trying to solve the puzzle he has left behind before it is too late. I know some people have an odd stigma against Dan Brown, but I fall more in love with his writing with each book of his I read, this one being no exception.
Getting some reading done before I start my day. I have a soft spot for formula reads, anyone else? #litsyAtoZ
"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis." Hardly before a antagonist seemed so convincing, a plot so intricate, a story so engaging at the same time..but that's Dan Brown for you.
Overall, I think this is a book that can justify the attention that is demands. Highly recommended if you're interested in all things grand.
This is the illustrated version which helps bring the story to life. There's pictures of the various art works and beautiful locations featured in the book. Makes me want to visit Italy.

My favorite afternoon.
I‘m currently reading Inferno by Dan Brown. I love searching the internet for the art that is referenced in his books. This is Dante Alighieri‘s death mask. I find it incredibly creepy. Not something I‘d want in my home.
Thought this was appropriate in light of current national events.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
4.8 stars! I loved this book very much, I just couldn‘t put it down! The combination of Florence, Venice, Dante Alighieri, Istanbul and the best main character Robert Langdon, was just perfect for me❤️
