Paradise Lost (Abridged) Audiobook

" a must if you want to understand christian religion! we all man are tainted by the disobedience of the first man and redeemed by the perfect obedience of another man. "

" dense, but very good. read in coursework for "a brief history of the devil" "

" Whew! Read and re-read it. Difficult, but rewarding. Enjoyed the conversations it sparked. "

" I've only read Book IX and should get back to the rest when I have time. "

" Well, duh. It's amazing. This edition has a LOT of footnotes, but if you ignore the ones that tell you how to think, it's a great read. Not for those with a low threshold for ambiguity. "

" I loved Paradise Lost. It was entertaining to read this worldview on Adam and Eve, and the fall of man. "

" I shouldn't count this because I only half read it for school. But I remember the gist of it. "

" I have permanent mental pictures from this book. "

" The story of Original Sin, the Fall. Wonderfully written. Gives a different perspective than what we are always given in Sunday School. "

" I read it in school. It was good. "

" I had to read this in a British Literature class. I can't say it was an exciting read, but it was interesting. "

" Loved this book much more than I thought I would. What a rich text! Too bad there's no one to talk to about it. "

" Amazing! I have read it close to 20 times, and I still find cool stuff! "

" I liked it, but it took too long to decipher everything that was going on and being said. My level of reading hasn't gotten up to the point where I can read difficult texts like Paradise Lost and understand it immediately. "

" Everyone should read this masterwork... so full of amazingness. "Let none henceforth seek needless cause to approve the faith the owe; when earnestly they seek such prrof, conclude, they begin to fail." "

" Up in my top 10 worst/most boring books ever. Prose makes no sense and to me it's the opposite of an epic. You compare this load of crap to Homer's verse and there really is no comparison. This is no epic. It's insipid and boring with literally zero plot. "

" I actually survived this book. Most difficult book I've ever read. But I made it :) "

" I will read it again--for sure. "

" Whew! Read and re-read it. Difficult, but rewarding. Enjoyed the conversations it sparked. "

" this was a tragic waste of my time ..... I had to wade through the mire of this epic poem and it was hard gruelling work! "

" My second time reading this book. My first, as a freshman in a Christian school,older now I feel Im a little better equipped to understand it. An important part of literature, a must read for everyone, no matter your beliefs. "

" Difficult Read. I read it during a summer class and struggled a bit. I think it would be effective if taught slowly and/or through pieces as support text, this would be a great read. "

" The epitome of anti-hero- Satan misunderstood. "
