Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained by John Milton
3.0
Foremost, I want to make it very clear, this was excellent. The writing was superb, and Milton deserves an era of style named after him. As prose goes, top of the line.
That said... Oww. My head hurts. The unfortunate nature of amazing prose, and wide vocabulary usage is that often times readers become simply weary. Attempting to interact in any long stints was enjoyable, but draining.
I do highly recommend this. Having the stories fleshed out is marvelous, even if fiction. It's well worth some small amounts of time here and there as a casual read. My sympathies go out to readers attempting to parse the entire text in a condensed time span for classes.
