I liked it but I need to give it another go after some more background reading!

Dante def takes some liberties and determining who is good or bad but I found it to almost be a political commentary of his thoughts at the time. I read quite a bit of this as political commentary rather than a discussion of a hell. Was pretty cool, enjoyed this translation. Not the biggest fan of poetry but this one wa pretty cool to get through.
