This is my first time to read a book about hell or inferno. And it is so interesting! I am still reading it and already in Canto 30.(I read it in Korean version, :D) Dante described vividly the hell and compared the situations in inferno to actions of animals and things that I can easily imagine. So while I was reading it, I could feel the fears and sadness of Dante.


 But because of Virgil, the guide, I didn’t worry about Dante. Virgil is always with Dante from the start and saves him from troubles. He is wise, generous and reliable. Every time Dante asks questions, Virgil answers the curious of Dante and further, he solves my curious too.


 This book really makes people to think about many kinds of sins and hell. Maybe Dante wrote Inferno for people to be alert mentally from commit a crime. I also could have time to think about the hell and sins.



 Inferno is just the first part of Divine Comedy. I really enjoyed reading it and almost finished it. I want to read the other two parts, Purgatorio and Paradiso to join the Dante's long journey to heaven.
