What do you guys think of it? I find it to be an extremely interesting perspective on the Faith, and his portrayals of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven are very vivid and imaginative. I also find it funny that in the story, everyone that Dante historically didn't like was in Hell, and everyone he did like was either in Purgatory or Heaven.

He was wrong about some of the people in there (one of the popes he insinuated in Hell was later canonized), but I'm pretty sure his overall description is accurate. Its very hard to read without footnotes, luckily you can find digital versions of the whole Comedy with annotations online.
