toebean5 's review for:
The Dante Club
by Matthew Pearl
This was hard to get into, but once I did I was hooked. It's historical/fiction/mystery featuring 19th century American literary figures. What I found appealing about this book was that it really enhanced my understanding/appreciation for Dante's Divine Comedy. It also made some historical figures really "come to life." This prompted alot of discussion for my book club. The ending is a real surprise, which everyone liked, but some people had qualms with the graphic nature of the gore (think Angels & Demons).
