I appreciate the pace that this was read because it is a lot of information. I still had to rewind and listen again to many bits, but that’s no fault to the narrator.

Perfect pace and clear audio.

Really appreciated the narration. fluent transitions into slightly.. more dramatic as called for by the text but never near over the top or under sold. Story is brilliant if you can percieve that what his tour of hell is. Is that of who and what he relates to on earth. Leaving room to understand that another person's journey may have been of a differed account. Might help to free the mind to listen rather than contemplate points of argument.

You find what your looking for. well narrated

I did my very best to try and visualize some of the scenes that Dante described. However I did have some issues trying to visualize the areas in the circle so I could not delineate them as well as I'm sure others can.

I had no problem whatsoever in visualizing some of the hard things that were happening to the sinners.

I found the ending kind of abrupt. You get to the center then boom he's out of there.

B$

Hard to visualize

Wow and this was written in the 14th century?! Creepy and real.even if you don't believe in an after life this will still mess you up. Like a horror story. The book was greatly translated. I am italian and know it pretty well. But my translation would bring a reader within dante's underworld journey. The performance was great. His voice was creepy and perfect to listen to for the full affect. You can listen again and get even more disturbed than the prior listen. Bellissimo!!!!!grazie.molto bene!!!!

Disturbing/ inquietante!!!!

It gets full marks for being a translated classic, but there was really no point to his delve? He just went until the torturous pits of hell because? Maybe I missed something..

Huh
