Hey everyone! I finished reading Dan Brown's "Inferno" a few days ago. It was my first "Big Book" of the Summer. If you are unsure about The Big Book Challenge, you can read my blog post here , or check out Bookbybook's description.

Publication Date: May 1st 2014 Genre: Dystopia, Young Adult, Post Apocalpytic My Goodreads Rating: 3/5 Source:  Library Copy  In this review, I won't be discussing the plot much, for fear of giving something away, but rather the general style of the book. I can't say that I loved the book- because... I didn't. But it wasn't bad. The beginning of the book is full of suspense, and for five Chapters, all you know about the main character, is that he's a boy. He's simply referred to as " him". The beginning is a little slow, but once you get into Part Two ( the book is divided into Parts 1-4) you get really hooked.
