"Oh I could not put this book down. I loved it and I loved Niven's description of hell. Some parts were a little slow but overall it was a great book."
"This is not a book I would have picked up from looking at the cover or reading the blurb on the back. It was highly recommended to me, however, and I decided to give it a shot.
I've never read anything by Larry Niven, although I've heard the name before. I really had no idea what to expect. To my surprise, it was really good. I was expecting some old-timey not-so-good SciFi, but really, it's a horror story.
Yes, the plot (or at least the setting) is based loosely on Dante's Inferno, but with a much more modern, more skeptical viewpoint."
"I must say that I loved this book. This is a re-telling, modernizing of Dante's Inferno. It was very easy to read and really drew you in from the very begining. Saying its a little on the wierd side is an understatement but that was what makes this such a fun read. It was funny, strange, and icky all at once. Its hard not to get caught up with the characters and wonder who else you will meet along their path."
"A strange combination of amusing and harrowing. Carpentier's attachment to his Infernoland amusement park theory got a little old, but I can kind of understand why you would cling to something with rules you understood."
