The pace of the story and the balance of historical details were good - better than Inferno, which I thought wasn't particularly good. However, I thought the Ambra Vidal character was so flat. She was supposed to be intelligent, cultured, and a strong woman. I found her to merely be the attractive woman placeholder next to Langdon. She didn't add much to the story at all. Also, the last 100 or so pages of the book were exasperating. I didn't want to read Edmond Kirsch's presentation from start to finish. And then the narrative got all preachy. But in the last five pages, the author tried to turn the tide. I just don't know. I thought Dan Brown's earlier books were much better. Either he's changed or I have - I'm not sure!
