A review by janie_at_the_library
The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan

2.0

This was a rough go with a 14yo for his summer reading assignment. Puritans are hard. Give me Chaucer and Shakespeare any day of the week. My dislike of being constantly bludgeoned by Bunyan came through in our discussions, resulting in the inevitable slog for me means a slog for him. Sometimes it's nature, sometimes it's nurture.

Pilgrim's Progress is undoubtedly an important read both historically and culturally. But importance does not mean I have to like it.
