My thoughts on Dante's Inferno

It was really a great book. It wasn't exactly what I expected but it still was good. It gave a lot of insight to the mindset of the Christians back during the 1200's and the Medieval times. It was fun to read and really got me thinking about life and trying to be a better person. Some things I didn't like was Dante's choices for some of his sins. I still don't think certain people should be in the amount of trouble they were in in hell. Sometimes it just seemed to be too harsh. another thing was that Dante really puffed himself up to be some true saint. He really got on my nerves at times with that "I'm was sent by God to go through hell" stuff. however, Dante's writing was really good even though sometimes his history was sort of wrong and most of his views on people were biased. It took a lot of patience to read this book because of the wording and the phrases. However, I got through it and I think it was a really good book to read. I loved how Dante used his opinions in the book and gave us scandalous gossip about people we now study in history. I loved the Characters and I loved the way Dante did some his punishments. Each one was well thought out and planned so that it would match the crime. I think he is good writer and this is a great book.
