gloomybookworm2002's review against another edition
5.0
Paradise Lost Book 9-10 by John Milton is a remarkable piece of literature that left me in awe. Milton's poetic brilliance shines through as he masterfully crafts the fall of Adam and Eve, their expulsion from Eden, and the ensuing consequences of their actions. The depth of emotion and the vivid imagery employed in these books are breathtaking, immersing the reader in a rich tapestry of human struggles, temptation, and redemption. Milton's exploration of the themes of free will, the nature of evil, and the consequences of disobedience is profound and thought-provoking.
The language is beautifully lyrical, and the portrayal of Satan's character is captivating, making him both charming and repulsive. Paradise Lost Book 9-10 is an absolute masterpiece that continues to resonate with readers centuries after its publication, and it remains a testament to Milton's literary genius
