What did you love best about Inferno?
A modern-day journey through hell with Benito Mussolini as your guide? What could be more bizarre. Revisiting this story 45 years after I first read it? Priceless! Listening to if after re-reading Dante's Inferno? The best.What other book might you compare Inferno to and why?
Dante's Inferno, of course. This is a bizarre twist on that tale with a science fiction writer as the protagonist.What about Tom Weiner’s performance did you like?
This was a pretty straight-forward reading. There really wasn't anything special about it.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, because I was paying close attention to correct my 45-year-old memory of this book.Any additional comments?
I don't know whether this book is a classic or not, but was a great read. A journey of growth on a trip through hell. Even though hell isn't real and there is no life after death, it's a great topic for fiction.Where am I going and why am I in this hand-basket?

Niven and Pournelle do an admirable job of first recreating Dante's version of hell, while providing much in the way of plausible technological solutions to the properties of hell, initially being viewed as an amusement park called Infernoland. Rather than merely a place of punishment, hell is more a place where people go who want to be punished (or at least don't leave once there), while there is some degree of mobility to the innocent. There is much in terms of the philosophical nature of sin itself.
While overall not a bad narration, there is an older quality to the rendition that comes across more as simply read, rather than performed. Pacing is brisk that makes for a quick listen.
Niven went to hell and got a lousy T-shirt
