Free Download | Escape from Hell | Larry Niven


First off i'd like to say that I did not read "Inferno". It seems that most 1-3 star reviews on Amazon are from people who are dissapointed that it wasnt as good as Inferno. I read this as a completely random purchase after flipping through the first few pages and reading the brief descriptions of the "Dramatic Personae" who the main character comes across in his journey through Dante's many circles of hell. Every time Allen (Main character) would say that he "notices a figure walking in the distance" or something I could not wait to see which decased person from history he would meet next. From Iraqi suicide bombers to famous political figures, and the most evil people from the last couple millenium such as Hitler/Stalin, every character he meets has a story to tell and they're all interesting. These characters don't just float in and out of the storyline without purpose either... some of them Allen had met previously in "Inferno" and the rest usually serve some purpose in the story or have an effect on the rest of the story.
