Reads like Dante’s doing interviews for a medieval gossip column. Basically just walking around trying to get the scoop from all the tortured souls. Tell me your name and why your here.. I promise to make your name infamous when I return to the land of the living.

I don't think I grasped all the concepts and metaphors, but I got enough to know that I could read this a hundred times and still not grasp them.

Sometimes problematic theology, but a great piece of literature. Interesting to learn more about Dante's world and culture, and how that's impacted the Western imagination.

What a haunting, terrifying read.
For me this was not the easiest book to read, mainly due to pacing and the way it’s written. I will not be running back to re-read anytime soon. However as a classic it really does hold up, it’s everything I imagined it to be. I feel a great sense of accomplishment from reading this.
