Soon after I read Dante's Wood last year ... I did probably the best thing I can do to compliment an author. I went to Amazon and ordered the whole Mark Angelotti trilogy, and here I am reading books #2 and 3.

The second installment was good and solid, but most, if not all, of the medical jargon went over my head. While Dante's Poison probably could be read okay as a standalone, go ahead and do yourself a favor and read Dante's Wood first ... you'll be able to understand Mark a little better.

I love how he is entirely human. He's lovable and imperfect. He's witty and intelligent and he loves his young son more than anything else in the world. He's a very admirable character, and I look forward to reading more about him.
