Fun concept executed well, passionate narration.

listened to this while driving to work, was always looking forward to knowing what came next. While the story is a little predictable, it's an interesting well described journey through hell. Sometimes the dialogue was a little unrealistic and I sometimes became lost what was going on and had to skip back but that's probably more to do with my concentration than the writing itself, I look forward to re-listening in the future and hope new details come out in the 2nd time around.

Lost Classic

Searched for a copy of this book for years. As good as I remembered it. A good entry into the world creating talents of the authors.

Great Story, A Modern Divina Commedia

Would you listen to Inferno again? Why?

I would definitely listen to Inferno again, it isn't too long, well read and quite an involving story. Many references to modern historic characters.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Inferno?

The moment the protagonist and his guide go through the beaurocratic engine of the place they are in. Very amusing!

Which character – as performed by Tom Weiner – was your favourite?

The protagonist, but also his guide. Both characters are very well played and with an appropriate accent.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Hell, is not what you have been told it is...

Any additional comments?

Really enjoyed this audiobook, will listen to it again when I have caught up with the other books in my queue.

Great book, poor rendition

I love this book & know it well having read it many times. Tom Weiner's rendition of it however comes nowhere near doing it justice. His reading voice has great tone and timbre and on that basis ought to be really good, however his phrasing, timing, and particularly inflection are poor and misplaced. Sometimes his phrasing is completely inappropriate to the situation, the words that preceded it and the words that follow. His long drawn out drawl at the end of some words also irritates me, though that's personal taste. If you've read the book I wouldn't recommend this version. If not, well you'll get more or less the sense of it.
