Inferno
Robert Langdon #4

by Dan Brown

genre: thriller
Dan Brown’s best novel so far! Inferno had more twists than Deception Point. Just when you think you’ve figured out what’s going on, gravity reverses and dumps you on your head. Not only is Inferno well crafted and filled with suspense, it’s thought provoking and deals with one of today’s world concerns.

Synopsis

A groundbreaking scientist is out to save the world. Some call him Monster, for he is not trying to cure cancer or end world hunger; he is trying to save the human race from itself. He describes humanity as a rapidly multiplying parasite that will inevitably overwhelm its environment. When world leaders refuse to work with him to combat overpopulation, he takes things into his own hands.

Robert Langdon becomes wrapped up in a complicated race against time to stop a mad scientist from irrevocably changing the world.

Dime quién soy by Julia Navarro
9 out of 10

This is my first book review and I recently finished Dime quién soy by Julia Navarro. It is a Spanish book and I experienced the epic tail through a Spanish audiobook. It is a massive book approx. 1000 pages, just under 30 hours of audio. I loved every minute.

The book revolves around Guillermo piecing together the long, riveting and extraordinary life of his great, great grandmother: Amelia Garayoa. The story begins in Madrid, Spain but shifts to countries all over the world such as Argentina, Russia and Germany. Guillermo embarks on an interesting ride as he follows his ancestor’s footsteps to discover her life and the events that marked it; the Spanish Civil War, World War II, Post-War Germany and the Cold war.
