My least favorite of the John Carter series. Started strong but as the story progressed it felt like Burroughs wanted to hurry up and finish it so he could go outside and play. Still fun and better than Dan Brown though....

Inferno by Dan Brown - 462 Pages
The latest from Dan Brown, Inferno puts the (apparently Tom Hanks in a mullet lookalike) Robert Langdon in Florence, Italy and races him around through familiar landmarks, medieval literature, and short cliffhanging chapters in a desperate quest to stop a biological weapon. If you are familiar with Dan Brown, you know what to expect...and you won't be disappointed. Having read three Dan Brown novels, this was my favorite as it was the least crass and had the least amount of cheap shots at the Bible and faith of the Brown books I've read.
A quick, entertaining, guilty pleasure.
