Ratings and reviews

This pretentious, conceded man decided to put his book before the actual work only after he introduces himself for 30 pages and what a great man he is. It is a vile disgrace of a classic poem that this man decided to comandeer and tag on himself without mentioning john milton once. Disgusting for the price of free

John Milton masterfully elaborates on what our great patriarch and matriarch, Adam and Eve, likely experienced during their fall from grace. The epic poem not only humanizes these two characters, but also gives insight into the thoughts and motivations of our great Adversary, that fallen angel Satan. Never before have I read anything so thorough and articulate, so elegant and surprisingly concise. I highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to acquire a somewhat better understanding of the Bible.

Best book to read. The reason why this book is best to ready and worth reading because it tells the story of the fallen angel, Lucifer and how he became the prince of darkness and I think it can teaches us humans that we be watchful and mindful of our pride because if we're not mindful and watchful of our prideful behavior and keep it sensered, there could be dire repercussions. Yes, pride is a good thing but we can't be arrogant and egotistical and we can't brag about good we are all the time.
