Loic AliniMs. CampbellEnglish January 114, 2014Second Quarter Book ReportThis quarter I read the book Inferno by Dan Brown. At first, Harvard professor Robert Langdon wakes up in a hospital in Florence with mild amnesia and remembers nothing of the past two days. Sienna Brooks, one of the doctors caring for him, helps him escape from the hospital of an assassin named Vayentha. Sienna and Langdon go to her apartment. He decides to call the American consulate for help. Langdon gives them a location across the street, and they see Vayentha stopping at the spot they gave the consulate. They assume the US government is trying to kill them. Langdon finds a small medieval bone cylinder equipped with a high-tech projector that displays a modified version of Botticelli's map of hell. At the bottom of the illumination are the words "The truth can only be seen through the eyes of death" (66). Suddenly, soldiers attack Sienna's building. Sienna and Robert narrowly escape. Sienna and Langdon attempt to go to the Old Town (historical Florence) because they know it has something to do with Dante. They see that the police are everywhere and that they must escape from them. As they evaded the police, Langdon realized they were heading to the Palazzo Vecchio. at the palace, but Langdon and Sienna narrowly escape by pushing Vayentha to her death. Robert connects the phrase Paradise 25 that he found at the palace to the Florence Baptistery. They find Dante Alighieri's death mask at the baptistery and discover that it belonged to. Billionaire geneticist Bertrand Zobrist wanted to stop the growth of humanity, due to the spiral of control of its population. A man named Jonathan Ferris who claims to be from...... middle of paper ...... He said. “Remember this evening...for it is the beginning of forever.” This quote applies perfectly to the story because in the end it solves the problem of human overpopulation forever. I would rate this book a five out of five. This book is a suspenseful thriller that kept me reading for days. The ending had a twist that I will never forget. It also opened my eyes to some issues that are not important today, but will be tomorrow. The larger the population, the more problems there will be. There will also be more pollution, more wildlife will be destroyed and species will become extinct. It's not fair that wildlife has to die when they've been here much longer than we have. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good read, but if you plan to read it, don't read this paper report or it will spoil the ending.!
