Book Reviews of In the Hand of Dante: A Novel
Book Review: An excellent and amazing read
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't read many novels, even if they are a bit historical, but this is one of my favorite books. Tosches is an excellent writer and easy read. I read Dante and then proceeded to read many of Nick's other works. But alas, he hasn't written many novels, and this is his best, so I was only disappointed. The chapters go back and forth between the present day mafia fight over Dante's original manuscript and the time when Dante was actually writing it. It's a little lewd at times, so definitely not for the faint of heart. Pick this up and you won't be able to put it down until finished.
On a side note, Tosches claims he was educated in a bar. This is one smart, intellectual dude, so I wouldn't be surprised that he skipped the status quo upbrining.
