After being thrown out of the window of his luxury apartment, science-fiction writer Allen Carpentier wakes to find himself at the gates of Hell. Feeling he's landed in a great opportunity for a book, he attempts to follow Dante's road map. Determined to meet Satan himself, Carpentier treks through the nine circles of Hell, led by Benito Mussolini, and encounters countless mental and physical tortures. As he struggles to escape, he's taken through new, puzzling, and outlandish versions of sin recast for the present day.©1976 Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle (P)2008 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Great story, and great narration. He used different voices for characters, it was fun listening

love the narration

I liked the voice actor, he did an excellent job and I’d like to hear some of his other work. I just couldn’t really get into this story. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either, just pretty mediocre all around. In the end, all of the characters were thinly written and ultimately forgettable. The main character spends the better part of the book refusing to believe that he’s actually in hell. This is comical at first, but it wears thin pretty quickly and overstays its welcome far too long. Ultimately, I’m glad the story was relatively short otherwise I don’t know that I would have been able to finish. I’m also glad that I picked this up on sale, paying full price would have only added to my disappointment.

We are in the hands of ultimate power and ultimate sadism

The sequel is just as good. Great humor, accuracy to Donte’s original is obvious with obvious side jokes to livin it up. Niven’s does as always. An amazing job. Could only wish for more, but very satisfied with what he has given us. I highly Recommend this book.

Amazing

What did you love best about Inferno?

A modern-day journey through hell with Benito Mussolini as your guide? What could be more bizarre. Revisiting this story 45 years after I first read it? Priceless! Listening to if after re-reading Dante's Inferno? The best.

What other book might you compare Inferno to and why?

Dante's Inferno, of course. This is a bizarre twist on that tale with a science fiction writer as the protagonist.

What about Tom Weiner’s performance did you like?

This was a pretty straight-forward reading. There really wasn't anything special about it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, because I was paying close attention to correct my 45-year-old memory of this book.

Any additional comments?

I don't know whether this book is a classic or not, but was a great read. A journey of growth on a trip through hell. Even though hell isn't real and there is no life after death, it's a great topic for fiction.

Where am I going and why am I in this hand-basket?
