The setting, Italy, was an easy choice, because that's been on my travel bucket list for 30 years. The series is one of my favorites, and luckily the one I hadn't read was set in the correct location. Ready to start this one!

I read this one for week 10, it was really good! I think Dan Brown is a very smart writer. This one will have you guessing until the end!
I really liked this book, I hope you'll like it too! I live in Switzerland, a few hours of train from Florence and Venice and I have to confess that I've never been there. After reading the book they jumped up my bucket-list! Actually the ending of the book takes place in another city I would very much like to visit in the near future, but I don't say where in case you're not finished yet ;)
My dream place is Italy, too! But I chose a different book, The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. I really hope one day we can go there.I read Inferno a few years ago. I liked it and I actually liked the villain's plan. It's very relevant to the world's problems today. It's an extreme solution, but makes sense. I enjoyed The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons better than this book, though.
Ana, I love the movie The Name of the Rose, but my mum told me that the book was quite difficult to read and boring in places, what do you think?And I agree with you about the villain's plan, it is relevant, but still taboo.
Italy - a place I would love to visit again. I didn't get a chance to go to Florence so Inferno is my choice for this week. I am half way through it and have to say I am not enjoying it as much as The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. It does seem to be building at the moment so I hope it gets better. I wonder how factual the statistical WHO information is - scary.
