Yeah..as far as poetry goes it's simply amazing. The problem is in the different circles of hell all the people being tortured are major political/religious figures of that era so most of the time you have nooo idea who they are save for the occasional well known name. I still have to read the next two: Purgatory and Heaven (I forget the real names). The 3 are the greatest traitors of all time- I can't say more or I'll ruin it, it's fun to guess while you're reading.
