I preferred part 3, written at a time of more stability in Dante's life.
I read this in college about 20 years ago and it is time for a revisit

No hay duda del motivo de la fama de tal obra una vez te has leído aunque solo sea una parte, como es mi caso por ahora. Es realmente una obra digna de estudio, desde conocer el contexto histórico y las circunstancias que rodearon la vida del autor hasta releerse los capítulos varios veces, subrayando y prestando atención a todo. Por ahora me he leído el Infierno, el cual es sencillamente espectacular, y lo estoy digiriendo todavía. Con razón dicen que La Divina Comedia debe considerarse como tres libros en uno. Creo que se puede convertir en uno de mis favoritos.
Lo cierto es que no debería valorar este libro, mis conocimientos sobre la mitología clásica y sobre los personajes que aparecen no es suficiente para valorar la obra. Tampoco suelo leer poesía por lo que tampoco he podido disfrutarla. Seguramente por eso no me ha gustado y me ha resultado pesada, Mi valoración es de dos estrellas a mi como mal lector de la obra y no debería valorar el libro, como no se puede hacer esto he decido poner las cinco estrellas para no perjudicar a quien quiera leerla y pueda apreciarla.

My semi-negative review is entirely based on the edition I purchased and not the work of literature. I loved tracking along with the Baylor reading plan and the videos were immensely helpful. To be honest, I would have been utterly lost with them.
While this edition includes the beautiful art of Dore, the tradeoffs are not worth it. First, the font is miserable. It makes the reading so much harder - impossible to distinguish h from b, etc.
Worse, there are no notes - no footnotes, no endnotes. The number of historical allusions is overwhelming without notes to help the reader navigate Dante's poem.
Read this classic work, but pick a different edition.

The poem is a masterpiece. There really is nothing more for me to say.
