I wish I could read the original text, because the poetry of the text would probably feel much more pronounced (I enjoyed Milton’s Paradise Lost, which I was able to read in its more-or-less original state), but as it is the piece is a very long series of historical ‘anecdotes’ briefly broken up by theological insight and self-indulgent descriptions of Dante’s own place in the story.
I will hopefully finish it one day, but everything I see says Paradiso is the worst of the triad, and Purgatorio is already such a drag that I feel I need to stop, at least for now.
Inferno was enjoyable at times, and there are a few very memorable lines, but there are only so many times you can read the same canto/stanza.

Ich muss zugeben, dass ich massivst enttäuscht wurde. Ich habe einiges mehr als eine bloße "Self insert fan fiction" erwartet. Prinzipiell kann man sagen, dass das Buch pro Abschnitt dröger und langatmiger wird; die Hölle ist tatsächlich noch der "beste" Abschnitt. Zudem folgt nahezu jedes Kapitel dem Schema: 2 - 5 Seelen werden aufgetroffen und nach ihrem Leid befragt, von Dante abgeurteilt und die Reise geht weiter. Das wiederholt sich bis zum Ende. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass ich das sage, aber ich bin froh fertig zu sein und kann mich jetzt schon an das Wenigste erinnern. Eine Zusammenfassung reicht definitiv aus.
