5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly well-written, November 11, 1997
By sjrst19@vms.cis.pitt.edu (Johnstown, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
Dante's Inferno was an exploration of Hell at its best. The graphic descriptions of each level of Hell and what they contained, and especially Dante's and Virgil's narrow escape from the demons, made the book impossible to put down. I am a busy college student, and I managed to read the book on one week, it was that good. It flowed, and its rhythm made me want to keep reading. Next, onto Purgatorio and Paradiso.

5.0 out of 5 stars An organised look at Chaos, January 15, 2000
By A Customer
I didn't quite know what to think of the Inferno when I first picked it up, but I'd heard about it and decided to give it a shot. This book gave me nightmares and yet was so interesting and well-described that I read it in no time and marveled at it's skillful craftmanship. and I don't even beleive in Hell!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cold Sweat!, August 26, 1999
By A Customer
This is an excellent book for those who do and don't believe in Hell. If one does not believe in Hell, this book is a perfect reason to make one, if not to become religious, but at least to consider the factor. If one does believe, then it'll help them in less sinning! As for myself, reading many passages throughout this book, gave me chills and cold sweats!
