Supposedly one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written....ok Well the author of this book does a good job telling the story in a way that makes sense. But is it the greatest literature ever written... Not in my humble opinion. I give it 3 stars.

As a recovering alcoholic and addict I found the book to be extremely introspective and enlightening for the fact that in the past as a practicing alcoholic and addict I could empathize with no only the sinners in this story but also the sin itself and has helped me to open my eyes more not only as a human being, but also as a recovering alcoholic and addict. It opened my eyes to what I was and also what I should strive to be but more importantly what I should strive not to be. As the story explained the sinners sins and the appropriate punishment for said sin I took it quite figuratively of what and how an alcoholic punishes themselves and often condemns themselves to be punished forever for their sins due to the poor self imagine that comes with being an addict and alcoholic. After all what I took away from this story was, the kingdom of god is within man, but quite equally so is hell or the inferno. A person has the free will to choose to live in paradise through hard work and an honest and good life, or can choose hell by taking part in the seven deadly sins and condemning themselves consciencly or un-consciencly. The point is if you are still alive it is never too late to change. If you live by your hour then it is where you begin that counts. Not where you end. Thank you for this amazing story. I look forward to reading The Divine Comedy now with a better understanding of it.

I give this a five star!!! Because this book is amazing!!! I couldn't put this book down!!!every word caught my attention I recommend this book to those who are older than 10 though couse it has some cussing but aside from that it is an amazing book.

I've always been fascinated by people's depictions of hell and other fictitious places, very fun and entertaining.

I loved it! Great read! Was deep, but in a good way!
