You have read Dante's Inferno at age 5!? Is that even possible? I have read well enouph within the book, and when I summarize it to myself, it is close to impossible for a 5 year old to understand that book. Second of all, I don't think a 5 year old would enjoy such a frightening book. A normal 5 year old would be detered by it's complexity and give up reading it. I assume it would require a 12 grade reading level, a 5 year old wouldn't even have 1 grade. Most of 'em can't even read. Althought, could it be that someone read it to you aloud rather than verbatim to yourself? I refuse to believe that a 5-year-old could read such a thing.
