This book is a beast, but it delivers. The vivid descriptions of hell, purgatory, and heaven are beautifully written and will stay with you for a long time, if not forever. My favorite is, predictably, Inferno Canto, but Purgatorio almost won out. Honestly, kudos to Dante Alighieri for writing a book to strike cold, hard fear into the hearts of his enemies. If I could write this well, I would too.
