I'm going to be honest here, okay? I have no idea where I put my copy of Dante's Inferno. I was only able to write this because I read Canto 1-6 on the Internet. But, don't worry, I am definitely going to find it soon. 

Moving on, I guess I am pretty grateful that I lost my copy. I seriously had trouble understanding what Dante was saying. Luckily, I was already on the Internet anyway, so I just looked it up on Sparknotes. It was a lot of help and after the first three Cantos, I kind of got the hang of it. 

What I find interesting about the book would be how fast-paced it is. At first, he's only walking in the desert and then suddenly, he's already in the third circle! It was really surprising. Though the explanations of Virgil were somewhat challenging to understand, I got the gist of each circle and that was all right for me.

Did anyone else notice how Dante seems like a sissy? I mean, I get that he's going through hell literally but he doesn't have to faint every single time. It's funny because each time he faints, he has another way of saying that he fainted that would make it extremely dramatic. 

I haven't read this before nor have I looked around for spoilers so I'm just going to put out there what I think of Virgil. To me, he seems kind of suspicious. After all, he was able to convince Charon, Milos, and Cerberus to let Dante through! Maybe it's just me, but I don't exactly trust Virgil-- especially since he is also part of the first circle of hell.

All in all, the first six Cantos look promising. I'm looking forward to the rest, though I will probably still need some help understanding. Hopefully, in the future, Dante will man up and stop "falling, even as a dead body falls" or "sleep hath seized I fell" or whatever else he wants to call it when he loses consciousness (a.k.a fainting).
