![]() ![]() " One of my favorite books, always interesting to read. As I mentioned elsewhere - I think Milton really wanted to make Satan the hero, but got side-tracked by Christianity. But it also wasn't the greatest story I ever read. This wasn't a drag, like I was expecting. It was fun reading it out loud-if you have the time, it's easier to read it out loud and follow the story that way. " Really and truly, there are not a whole lot of feelings to be had for John Milton. " I read parts of this in college, and I had an awesome instructor. It kind of feels like the back story of adam and eve and the fall - Thus the title: Paradise Lost. this is a really interesting book to read. " If you have the time to read through this and wade through some of the old english language. ![]() if you ever have a chance to read through this with friends and discuss it, it would not be wasted time. but this book changed my life and my understanding of poetry and art. " granted, i only read this because i took a class on milton in college. I had a passing interest and a large reading list, so I couldn't be patient enough. This book demands far too much attention, to enjoy this you'd probable really need to savour each word and line. " Moments of beautiful language, but too far between. Loved all the layers inside this! " - Kathleen, " should be a category for books read with assistance! I would not have been able to read this on my own and get everything out of it that was so interesting. As a religious studies major i obviously have no objection to reading books surrounding religion but this by far is one of my favorites. " There are few books that can make learning about a religion less painful but this book does it well.
