So different from the show. I love that! It helped keep me going. Although it was dark, the lighter and spiritual moments made it a great read. I enjoyed the passages of Dante's Inferno. The visions were spectacular too. I am a spiritual person who questions what I know and think I know so I like when I read that in a book it strikes home deeply. I swear I could see the staff and the ring. I could feel the presence of Virgil in his bear cloak covering. Lastly, I love that there a complete list of the books recommended to Sancho.
