I AM EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE TODAY'S

GIVEAWAY ENDED
INFERNO
Read by Paul Michael
BY DAN BROWN
ABOUT THE BOOK:
In his international blockbusters The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown masterfully fused history, art, codes, and symbols. In this riveting new thriller, Brown returns to his element and has crafted his highest-stakes novel to date.

In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces . . . Dante’s Inferno.

Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust . . . before the world is irrevocably altered.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestselling novels, including the recent record-breaking The Lost Symbol, which had the biggest one-week sale in Random House history for a single title.  His previous title, The Da Vinci Code, has sold more than 80 million copies worldwide, making it one of the bestselling novels of all time. In addition to numerous appearances on The Today Show, Mr. Brown was named one of the World's 100 Most Influential People by Time Magazine. He has appeared in the pages of Newsweek, Forbes, People, GQ, The New Yorker, and others. His novels are published in over 50 languages around the world.

PRAISE FOR INFERNO:
"Jampacked with tricks...A BOOK-LENGTH SCAVENGER HUNT that Mr. Brown creates so energetically."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"AS CLOSE AS A BOOK CAN COME TO A SUMMERTIME CINEMATIC BLOCKBUSTER…Brown builds up Langdon's supporting cast, which is the strongest yet."
--USA Today

"FAST, CLEVER, WELL-INFORMED…DAN BROWN IS THE MASTER OF THE INTELLECTUAL CLIFFHANGER."
--The Wall Street Journal

"BROWN IS AT HIS BEST when he makes readers believe that dusty books and musty passageways are just covers for ancient global conspiracies."
--The Washington Post

"A DIVERTING THRILLER…Brown stocks his latest book with all the familiar elements:  puzzles, a beautiful female companion, and hints of secret conspiratorial agendas."
--EW.com

"HARROWING FUN threaded with coded messages, art history, science, and imminent doom."
--Daily News (New York)
 


MY THOUGHTS/REVIEW:
Like so many of you, I have waited for Dan Brown's latest book, INFERNO, for so long. In that this book is kept under lock and key until the release date on May 21, I only received my book and audio book after that date. I am taking my time reading it so that I can enjoy it to the fullest. It is so amazing and I am very wrapped up in it. I save my INFERNO reading time for the quiet part of my day, late when all my other work is done so I can just enjoy it to the fullest. With that, I want you to know that I will be posting my review soon and you will be able to get BONUS ENTRIES when you comment on it there as well. Yes, you need to comment here but you also should watch for the review and comment there as well as it increases your chances so much. Many followers forget to do this second part so I will try and have it posted at least two days before the deadline. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I am and watch for my review!

Rahul said...

The book is simply incredible, although at some place you will feel an overlap between Da Vinci code and this book. It also has some factual errors like the quote of Robert Oppenheimer from Srimad Bhagavad Gita. But these negatives, doesn't let this book down. Robert's effort needs to be appreciated.
