I looked at it and read the reviews and I thought "why not?" And I am so glad I did. It is an amazing work of fiction, primarily because the author seems to have had a good classical education, with a knowledge of art, music and literature, a bit of a renaissance man really, and has used this knowledge to enrich a well trodden literary path, of the Romantic Fiction, enhancing the reader's experience 100 fold, and rising it out of the ordinary, boy meets girl and they fall in love bore feat.People will compare Gabriel Emerson and Christian Grey [50 Shade of Grey) as they both started life in the twilight fanfiction-sphere, but whereas Grey is so obviously a naughtier version of Edward Cullen, Emerson bares very little resemblance to the veggie vampire, his darkness is much more believable, his twisted physic more tangible and that is down to the skill of their respective creators, simply put, Reynard is a better writer than Meyers, end of. The character of Julia Mitchell may not be as well rounded as I might have wished but I didn't want to slap her as resoundingly as I did Ms Swan, though I do think that Reynard might have worked a tad harder at making her "secret" a bit more harrowing, once you find out what it is her inability to move past it seems a little bit over-dramatic...I started reading Inferno at bedtime and I could not put it down. It is lyrical and courtesy of the very "snarky" narrator really, really funny (there are parts where I had to stuff the corner of my pillow in my mouth to stop from walking the whole house) it is poignant and just plain beautifully written. Yes it might not be "great" literature, as someone commented in their review, and you can definitely title it "guilty pleasure", but the pleasure you receive from Inferno is that of a bar of Green and Black chocolate as opposed to Cadburys, the ratio of pleasure to guilt is a lot higher, so a lot better for you.People ask what is the point of a Classical Literary education today? I always say how can you build a house without foundation? Most writer regardless of what they are penning seem to stumble around "writing" without any idea of the rich tradition they are following in; they slaughter the English Language, with bad grammar, syntax errors and a lack of vocabulary, Sylvain Reynard writes for today's reader, feeding us what we are use to but with Gabriel's Inferno he also show us that he knows his foundation from his pulp. BUY THIS BOOK TODAY! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars well written love story *by C***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2012* I read this book on recommendation after 50 shades of grey. I do not understand the comparisons between the two other than that the male lead in both is a very arrogant possessive but still loveble man. This book is unlike 50 shades as it is not full of kinky sex scenes so if that's what you are after this book is not for you. It builds the love between gabriel and julia very slowly and you have a long wait for them to actually physically express their feelings with sex. The book does not suffer for its lack of sex scenes though. It is well written and the characters both well thought out. You feel their anxieties and past worries with them. Although gabriel is dislikable at first as you get to know him better you can't help but fall for him. It is erotic without the need for lots of sex....he is good at building the tension. So as a lover of 50 shades I still loved this book even though it was not erotic in the same sense of the word. So if you are considering buying this book I say go for it. It is a lovely well written love story and I am definitely going to buy the sequel to see what happens for gabriel and julia. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Gabriel's Inferno *by A***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 July 2012* If you didn't like Fifty Shades for its writing quality then you'd love this. It's well written, has complicated but well balanced characters with a complex history and has a lot of insightful facts about Italian Literature. If however, you are looking for sex and something to replace the empty void left by FSoG, then I don't think this is for you.For one,it has a much slower pace, in that the characters take their time getting 'together' when you know that inevitably, that's where they will end up. It's not a bad thing, but I would have preferred them to be more upfront with each other and not leave so many moments left unsaid. It seemed a little too 'rom com' in that way, because certain situations were handled weirdly by such 'academically smart' people.I also got a little annoyed with the main character constantly calling his love interest 'Beatrice' when he knew who she was and what her name is. I didn't get it, but that's just my opinion.I read both books and I think the story between the two characters gets better in Gabriel's Rapture, but you have to read Gabriel's Inferno to really understand what the history between the two damaged people. The story gets better as you read it and my personal favourite was Gabriel's Rapture because you really notice the characters growing and exploring with/and each other, and I think that's what might have been missing,slightly, in Gabriel's Inferno.Ultimately, it is an interesting story with twists and turns that you will probably see a mile away, but it has love, an intrigue, the 'want to have you but cant' type of romance and a couple of sex scenes. It didn't grab me or stay with me for weeks like FSoG did, but for those who didn't love Fifty Shades, would probably love this. It is a long story that doesn't move that quick, and you won't really understand why the characters behave the way they do (for such a big book, I'm surprised so many questions were left unanswered, but it's well written with interesting Italian Literature subtext and you won't hate it, you'll just wish it was just this little bit 'more' different. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gabriel's Inferno - Gabriel's Rapture (Gabriel's Inferno) - Gabriel's Redemption (Gabriel's Inferno) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/78105346-gabriels-inferno-1](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/78105346-gabriels-inferno-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
