: Boo... Hiss...
: If you didn't like Inferno, you're never gonna enjoy Paradiso. the Inferno is
: the best one. And it rocks.
Don't get me wrong. The ideas were cool in Inferno, and I was interested in reading it after reading the Niven and Pournelle variation.* But there's an issue between me and translated poetry... it's too hard to keep rhyme and meter to my satisfaction. I'd prefer it just be done as prose with footnotes on where emphasis was marked out by the poetic "tricks".
That's a personal quirk, though, and not limited to the Comedy. I also had trouble with Shaw's translation of "The Odyssey" which also tried to stay in verse.
Plenty of others disagree with me and swear by the Sayers translation. If you haven't read the series, and don't want to learn medieval Italian ( :) ) hers is probably the easiest to assimilate.
