Review: Much better than I expected

I'm not sure why but my expectations for this book were fairly low before I started reading. It far exceeded those low expectations. I'm not sure if I wan't to re-read it though, which is why I docked it one star. I've read both Dante's Inferno and the Niven&Pournelle's Inferno. In many respects this "Inferno" is about half way between them. The theology seems closer to the Dante version than Niven&Pournelle's. In terms of readability and enjoyment I'd say it's much closer to Niven&Pournelle's. That is, I liked Niven&Pournell's Inferno quite a lot and Dante was a slog.
