5***** AUDIBLE REVIEW
A gripping and accessible interpretation
Although it’s an epic 10+ hour journey it’s gripping and horrifying in equal measure. Moretti has unpacked Dante’s seminal work and made it accessible -it’s a must-read if you’re studying Dante or just want a fascinating and explicit journey which conjures up the full horror of the nine circles of Hell.

A great adaptation!
This is a great adaptation of The Divine Comedy. It’s Dante deconstructed. I loved the references to the Classics and also the Latin. The narrator really brings the story to life and gives Dante a voice. I loved it.
5***** REVIEW
SUPERB!
I’ve always been intrigued by Dante’s classic poem although the translations don’t appeal. This book reads as an intelligent, high-end fiction and follows Dante’s adventures as he travels through the afterlife. I feel it would work exceptionally well for students as a reference/source material although I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it as a novel. Highly recommended.

A VERY MOVING READ
A fascinating delve into this classic poem, which is about so much more than 'Hell'. A piece of literary fiction is a great way to explore Dante's epic text and this book has captured and re-told the story brilliantly. This novelisation is a page turner and surprisingly moving. It's keeping this classic alive. A great read.

SUPERB WRITING! AMAZING READ!
This book takes you deep into the underworld of Hell then way out the other side to Purgatory and Paradise. It’s written in the first person so you get inside the main character’s head which makes it interesting. It’s a fantasy adventure and not what I expected at all. Would make a great movie.

This adaptation could well become the book that everyone has been searching for, narrating the fantastic story in a modern yet erudite way.
