I have always wanted to want to read Dante's Inferno but could never put aside my other books to start it. I saw this book in a bookstore and perused it and found it intriguing. Upon obtaining it I decided to begin it immediately. My in store perusal did not prepare me for the vulgar language or the pictures. Somehow I missed those! Opps. Even though I had to read it with my white out tape at the ready, I found it quite interesting. I especially enjoyed the contemporary real life characters ensconsed in different levels of hell, even if I do not agree with the author that certain ones will be there, I was amused. Although I would have preferred to not have the questionable language I can understand why the author may have included it. It is hell and I can well imagine the language there will be atrocious. Language and pictures would prohibit me from full recommendation to other readers.Read full review
These modern versions of Dante are truly inspired. Written in contemporary English (as Dante broke with tradition and wrote in modern Italian instead of Latin) they are easy to enjoy and yet weirdly faithful to the original Divine Comedy. The gorgeous illustrations set in the city of San Francisco catapult this medieval masterpiece into the modern world. Nothing more interesting than a journey into hell! Highly original. A cracking good read. It will inspire you to take up the original Divine Comedy, which becomes a lifelong obsession.
