Reading Response 1

Over the summer, I read Inferno by Dan Brown. One thing I noticed was that it is about a scientist who creates a disease that only affects one third of the population, the same percent that was affected by the bubonic plague. Also I noticed that this book has deep ties with Dante’s Inferno about his trip into and out of hell. I wondered why Dan Brown would connect this book to another that was written in the fourteenth century.

Something that surprised me was when a girl that was with the protagonist the entire book left him. Later, after Dan Brown lead the reader to believe the girl turn on the hero, it is revealed that she was also trying to save the world. I was also surprised at how well Dan Brown fit in all of the symbols that he used. I really appreciate the work and effort that went into writing this book.
