With the publication of Dante's Paradiso , Sandow Birk and Marcus Sanders complete their literary and artistic achievementthe retelling of The Divine Comedy in contemporary words and images. Hailed as "inspired" by the The London Review of Books , Birk and Sanders's adaptation of Dante's classic work is true to the spirit of the original and is as acerbic and shockingly funny today as in thirteenth-century Italy. With a text that incorporates modern slang and references to anachronistically recent public figures, Birk and Sanders pay tribute to Dante's linguistic approach and clever politics. Birk's striking spin on Gustave Dor's famous engravings accompany the cantos. Together they lend the timeless poem a postmodern edge. A major retrospective of all of Birk's illustrations and paintings for the trilogy will be held at the San Jose Museum of Art in August 2005 in tribute to a masterpiece for our times.

I thought as a story the book was good and easy to understand compared to other versions of the Divine Comedy. There were a few things that I didn't like about the book, for example, I feel like the writer made Dante out to be undereducated. The amount of similes in this book is horrendous, and all of them are really idiotic. I would only suggest this book if you want a really want to understand the original story easily.
