Reading Inferno is like a wake up call for the obvious problem we actually are facing RIGHT NOW. I was surprised at how real the threat of this problem just like explained in Inferno. We, right about this second, are facing it! Human overpopulation. And, the explication of Dante Alighieri’s vision of hell, definitely left me aghast a bit. Will human population really extinct in brutal way like is shown by Dante? Whatever, clear message after reading this book: Please don’t carelessly make babies!

I read this book with a high expectation. I really love Brown's Angels & Demons, so I expect this book to be as good as it. Well, Inferno certainly is a good book. I like it that the story set in Italy, not to mention that I love Venice so much. The topic was interesting, about overpopulation that has became big problem in our earth. For some part I even thinking that we should reduce human population growth for-real, no matter how it should be done. But that sounded not too human, so yeah.

The twist! The twist in the end! I didn't expect the virus to do that to human. I'm really pleased with the twist. But still, the book, despite its fast pace, somehow lacked the thrill. Sadly, that means Inferno didn't meet my expectation.
