The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl

3.0

This novel had been on my reading list for quite some time, and I have to say I was slightly disappointed. The beginning was quite slow and provided a lot of useless background information that I did not find engaging. It was not until the 6th or 7th chapter that the book began to pick up a bit. From there, I found it quite suspenseful and enjoyable. Overall, a pretty good read but nothing spectacular. I loved the original plot line, however, and enjoyed how Dante was incorporated into it.
