I don't know if this is the worst book that I've ever read or if the audiobook was so atrocious that it made it into the worst thing ever. This book was a nightmare. I get it, I get it, I know it's supposed to be a Christian allegory, but listening to six hours of this (fully fucking dramatized) was hell. HELL. I wanted to bleach my ears. I couldn't handle it anymore, did Satan narrate this? This book made the Lord of the Rings trilogy look like a cake walk!! The Pilgrim's Progress was a long ass journey to heaven made by "Christian" and other people he runs into. They face all sorts of dumb shit and get into dumb trouble and make lots of dumb decisions but SOME FUCKING HOW still make it to heaven (spoiler alert). Christian loses lots of companions, walks into dumb scenarios every other page, but luckily for him, he had some faith so he made it. UGH. I hate everything. I'm glad this nightmare book is over.
Then I saw that there was a way to hell even from the gate of heaven.

I thought this book was nice to read, and suited well for its intended audience. I appreciated its upfrontness and painfully obvious character names, because it made a story full of biblical verses and English that I don’t understand well more consumable. I can’t really have an opinion of Christian as a character and his actions, because he’s supposed to represent Christians or pilgrims on the path to salvation, but I guess I will say this: I loved his (our?) ability to stick to one goal and go through whatever it takes to get to the Celestial City, but sometimes I was frustrated at Christian’s stubbornness or slight hypocrisy. Whyyyyy Christian were you talking soooooooo much about Talkative!?!? All I was thinking during that section was Look who’s talking. He was being so judgmental to the point where I couldn’t tell if we were supposed to be learning something from Talkative.
