    Inferno is definitely the most accessable, however if you have a good set of notes, purgatory and paradise are unbelievable....or take a look at my webpage that tours the afterlife with Dante (www.davelafferty.com)... I know shameless plug, but this work is too incredible to miss out on.

    I have read inferno a few times but find Purgatorio; Paradiso really heavy weather. I should have just bought inferno and left it at that.

    I loved the Inferno, but the other two parts aren't as strong in my opinion.
