The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl

Oh boy, what to say about this book. I was looking on Amazon.com and it came up in my 'recommended for you' section. I clicked on it and found the summary to be interesting as well as the comments of those who already read the book. I borrowed it from a friend and absolutely could not get into it. Some parts were ok, but they were overwhelmed by parts that were not. I struggled through the first half of the book and found the plot to be moving slower than molasses. At that point I decided to only read some of the dialogue and skim through the rest, but I couldn't even do that. I ended up giving the book back half read, not really caring that I hadn't finished.
