toddchr1999 's review for:

Paradise Lost by John Milton
4.0

The first half was very interesting and the prose was some of the best I’ve seen (given that John Milton created quite a few of these words, that’s no surprise) the second half was frankly a slog. After they are discovered having eaten the fruit, the book has an odd pacing issue, especially considering how like 20 flash forwards fortelling the Bible stories to come, it would be no surprise if the reader forgot the time period they were in.
