About halfway through this sequel to _Inferno_, the narrator says "I'm beginning to sound like a character in a book I don't like" and he's right.
I put it down there. I'm not picking it back up again.
Pointless, almost characterless, and a travelogue plot that doesn't show anything interesting.

(The original novel was what turned me on to Dante in the first place: it remains my single *favorite* story by either of them, even if I don't think it's necessarily their *best*...)
