The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl
2.0
I had a hard time getting through this book. Despite being a murder mystery with 19th Century Boston reinventions of [a:Dante Alighieri|5031312|Dante Alighieri|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1310943198p2/5031312.jpg] contrapassi, it was not able to hold my interest too well.
The characters were historical figures like [a:Henry Wadsworth Longfellow|2697|Henry Wadsworth Longfellow|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1211861766p2/2697.jpg], [a:Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.|1203736|Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1211860364p2/1203736.jpg], and [a:James Russell Lowell|15585|James Russell Lowell|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1267574915p2/15585.jpg], but they never came alive to me, and only Holmes and Lowell had some vibrancy.
I will say this book has made me want to reread the source material, the [b:Inferno|15645|Inferno (The Divine Comedy #1)|Dante Alighieri|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1520255019s/15645.jpg|2377563].
