who has read the divine comedy and what's your take on it?

Dante Alighieri was a Catholic, he was a Crusader for the Catholic Church before he sided with Emperor Henry VII against the Pope which of course lead to exile which he began to write the Divine Comedy. It's really not a comedy as you think of a comedy, but more like being a comedy during his time when stories had no happy endings which of course Dante's did have a happy ending.

He believed in the existence of Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell. However, what's interesting is that instead of believing Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell as states of existence different from our own, he made them into actual places. And tells the story as the character himself travels through Hell, Purgatory, and finally into Heaven with the Poet Virgil and his real life crush Beatrice.

I have read excerpts of it: It's funny how Dante can write a book, and then Christians can take it and use it to 'acurately describe what hell is".

Do Christians think Dante was divinely inspired?

Would have been hard to write.
