Paradise Lost (Abridged) Audiobook

" A very interesting retelling of the story of Creation and Eve's fall "

" I liked it more than I expected to. "

" Cumbersome and at times tedious, multiple readings serve t reader as to why this piece is truly a classic. "

" Restocked my reserve of Catholic guilt. Better on audio book than in hard copy "

" One of my favorite texts to teach. "

" Mr Milton, you arrogant bastard. "

" I read it for class. It's amazing, especially when you have an expert explaining everything to you. BUT I'd rather have teeth drilled sans novocaine than read it again. "

" Great quality edition with everything you could want, including a nice Philip Pullman introduction. If your paperback is in tatters this upgrade is worth the price. "

" Finished this recently for a class, and just wanted to be able to brag that I had read it. Yeah, it's as good as they say. "

" I wanted to love this epic. And there are passages that I thoroughly enjoy; however, I would rather read and re-read Spenser's Faerie Queene over PL any day of the week. "

" Another British Lit. assignment I had to write a paper on. I dont remember what grade I got on it, I tend to block out bad memories. "

" Terrific. Powerful. Moving. One of the greatest books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. "

" Like some of the Shakespeare plays I've read, Paradise Lost was a book I enjoyed discussing rather than reading. The themes and findings in between the lines were the only entertaining part about this book. It's written like the bible which makes sense but also hinders my desire to read it. "

" Have read this before... years ago. The copy I read this time wasa gift for Christmas and contained some commentary by Phillip Pullman which as really a nice addition. "

" What can you say? An epic poem (literally). This edition has nice introductions before each section, and is a beautiful, hardcover presentation of this essential work. If you haven't read Milton, what are you waiting for? "

" Coming across as both pompous and self-righteous, Milton nonetheless created an epic that continues to entrance it's reader to this day. "

" Is reading Paradise Lost ever really over?... "

" I'm glad I read it, but happy to be done with it. "

" 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. "
