nattyyllie's review against another edition

(2.5 star)
My favorite quotes:
“‘How could a good that’s shared by many souls make all those who possess it more wealthy than if that good were possessed by fewer?’ So he said to me, ‘Persist in thinking of earthly things alone, and you will reap only the darkness, even from the true light. …The more ardor it encounters, the more it gives. The greater the measure of love we have, more eternal good we receive. The more souls on high, each with love for each, the more all will love, with more to love well. Every soul a love-mirror mirroring.’”
“‘If you wore a hundred masks on your face you could not hide the slightest thought from me. What you saw was shown so that you might learn to let your heart be open to the peace that flows down from the eternal fountain. I did not ask ‘what’s wrong?’ as one who sees with the eyes only, which cannot function once the soul and body leave each other, no I asked this to give strength to your limbs. So must the wise stir the lax and slothful to use their waking hours when they return.’”
Still overall enjoyable. My opinion has yet to shift from my first review under “Inferno”. On to “Paradise”!

yes! love questioning the meaning of life every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30-2:45 with my freshman besties! purgatory sure would be better than this hell! pretty sure the 2nd floor of Hampton is actually Inferno!
(i actually enjoyed reading this. it’s a good book and i now want to read the other two. i just hate this class)

Still having a great time, but the story loses something once you're away from the demons
