"Definitely lacks the excitement of Hell, but nonetheless an interesting look into medieval perspectives on Heaven and on the transcendent. I was glad we read it in class, because I would never have understood it on my own..."
"Excellent translation. Very well annotated to truly help you understand the work. Though Paradiso is a classic for a reason, it just pales in comparison to Inferno. It would be nice if this is truly what paradise is like, but for literary drama hell is a much better subject."
"I never really give Paradise the attention it is due, but this time around was better than last time, since that is the only part I was reading. Dante is lovely and intriguing, and definitely worth the study, but I would have a hard time with it outside of a class setting, I think. There's just so much that feels inaccessible without good notes and a teacher who specializes in that era."
"Read the Kirkpatrick edition and liked the format and the notes less than Mark Musa's translation, whose Inferno and Purgatory I read. This involved more flipping and the notes in general were less helpful."
