it770 's review for:

Inferno by Dante Alighieri
2.0

Dores illustrations are stunning throughout and help to carry you through this. It's a tough read though.

I've been intending on this one since I was a teen but man it's only a slog, not because it's poetry as I loved armitages green knight, nor because it's a classics as I tore through both Homeric epics

This is actually just dry aged work, he at times is essentially just listing, you will spend a lot of time with Google on hand because he's constantly just referencing cultural moments that are honestly niche

I don't discount it deserves a 5* review for its cultural relevance and impact it's made elsewhere on other works, but I could not recommend this, my only satisfaction is that I ticked off a reading goal of my own
