I feel like I have very little to say about one of the most influential epic poems of our lifetime. It was impressive, yes, but incredibly slow and tedious, even for me. Beautiful in its prose at times and certainly creative in its approach, but I couldn’t get through more than a few pages at a time. Pro tip for anyone trying to get through this book purely for the cultural significance it holds - the entire audiobook is on YouTube. I enjoyed the experience so much more while listening to it.  Adam and Eve were such disappointing characters - the misogyny was quite shocking towards Eve, and Adam was flat and boring. Satan’s character development was more interesting, and I think my favorite part of the book was when it explored what the fall of Satan and his legions might have looked like, or how it might have played out.
