chrysemys 's review for:

The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan

2.0

---

I listened to an audio version of this- to become acquainted with the cultural/literary references, not for any religious reason- and time and time again, it proved effective as a sleep aid. I can see how, when taken in small doses and earnestly discussed afterward, this book might be somewhat useful for trying to understand scripture... I just have very little interest in doing so myself. Hence, it dragged more for me than I imagine it would for its average reader (which is not an inconsiderable amount, seeing as how the narration is difficult and archaic and the story isn't exactly gripping.)
