5.0 out of 5 stars
The most amazing portray of our deepest unknown fear. Hell.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy: The Inferno (Barron's Book Notes) (v. 1) (Paperback)
Dante's brillance goes underglorifed until the moment the book is finished, then a sudden gush of overwhelming astonishment shows what a real "great mind" is capable of. The amazing attention to detail and the most extream symbolism in every aspect makes this book worth the time.

3.0 out of 5 stars
An Emotionally Harrowing read that has fine wit and satire,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy: The Inferno (Barron's Book Notes) (v. 1) (Paperback)
I found this book very depressing and frightening to read. When I read it was young, Catholic, had a vivid imagination, and a strong sense of guilt. At various times throughout reading the book I was convinced that I was going to go to hell - so the book is pretty effective as a way of scaring people into behaving better. I also disagree with Aligheri's notion that premarital sex and suicide will send you hell. The description of hell is thorough and complete and I found the drawings fascinating. I enjoyed reading who ended up in hell and why.
