Dan Brown's Inferno (2)

Can't bear to part with the money for the book?  Here is cool solution.

An author called John Crace writes "digested reads" for the Guardian.  Whenever a high-profile book is published he cleverly renders it into 600 words.  Read that and you don't need to buy or browse the real thing.  Here's a quote from the digested read:
'Langdon looked out the window. "From my observations, I deduce we must be in Florence, the most populous city in Tuscany with 370,000 residents," he said. "There's no time for you to quote Wikipedia," Sienna reprimanded him scoldingly. "The world is under threat."'

Brilliant!  Read the whole 600 words at: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/may/19/inferno-dan-brown-digested-read.

Now you've saved at least $20 you can afford the $2.99 it will take to buy a much better thriller: Upload: A Very American Conspiracy at Amazon Kindle, Apple, Sony, Barnes and Noble and all other major eBook stores.
