Who here has read Dante's Inferno?

I just bought it last night and I am at Canto II because of school.
What are your thoughts on it?

I bought the Divine Comedy awhile ago, I think i'm on canto XVIII of inferno, i'm really enjoying it, i'm going back through it to read it in the original language just to see how the language feels on the tongue(mind) compared to reading the translated copy.
