I have read it. I liked it - but it gets less visual and interesting as Dante moves from Hell to Purgatory to heaven. I have a nice little 3 volume translation by Mark Musa (published by Penguin in the UK). It's done in unrhymed decasyllabic lines which zip along quite nicely. The notes are excellent as well. Another excellent addition to it is the sequence of essays Dante in Jorge Luis Borges' Collected Non-Fiction - gives nice little insights into various parts of Dante's poem. If you've yet to read, get it and enjoy! (But be prepared for the first two volumes being the most interesting...)
