Is there anything you would change about this book?
It would be a better audio book with narrations of explanation on some of the people in a commentary similar to the audiobook seriesWas The Divine Comedy worth the listening time?
I don't think this a book well suited to the audio format unless you have a specialization in Italian Renaissance history so you know more of the people whom Dante mentions. Most of the people visited by Dante on his trip through the abodes of the afterlife are not well known even to a person with a history major (though I admitted focused on more ancient history). This difficulty would be averted by reading an actual book version with notes (like an oxford edition) to give better context to the various people mentioned.Besides this difficulty people being skimmed-over throughout the work, it provides an interesting, narrative portrayal of the Catholic Church's doctrines both popular in that time and generally continuing into the present.
Highly dependent upon historical context

Would you listen to The Divine Comedy again? Why?
yes its a classic you really have to listen to this a couple of times to absorb it. i usually work when i listen to audio boods but yes good classic novel.What other book might you compare The Divine Comedy to and why?
paradise lostHave you listened to any of Pam Ward’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
probably dont care much for the people that speak the audio book just as long as they do a good voice lines for each character!Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
oh it was good i loved to just sit and laugh at it and also absorb itAny additional comments?
good audio book but you have to focus on this one instead of multitasking like i do when i listen to audiobooksgreat sit down audio book
