In class we were asked to write an opinion about something. In my case, I will write about a novel that captivated me.
What would happen if a contagious virus would expand all over the world and you ,in a race against time, try to avoid it? Well, I'm not talking about ebola but it could be. In fact, I'm talking about the wonderful book written by Dan Brown so-called Inferno.
Robert Langdon (the main character) lives in USA and, one day, he woke up in Firenze. He doesn't know what has happened in his life and he isn't able to remember anything. Accompanied by a nurse, called Sienna Brooks, he starts a race trying to understand what has happend. Soon, he realize that he is porting a weird object created by a scientific. This person is a genious obsessed with the end of the world and, through a series of codes implemented in Dante Alighieri's masterpiece, Inferno, he will try to avoid the expand of a virus and the end of the world.
The scenerys are marvellous, Dan Brown explains with all detail the Duomo or the Palazzo Vecchio, hence, you feel you are inside the book, and you' re running through Firenze, smelling pasta and ice-creams.
This is an entertaining and controversial book which ask questions related to science in our future. If you get a chance to read it, don't miss it!
