This book is for young reader, so yes it's good stuff to read.

Okay so I was nervous about this one. I wasn't sure how they'd be able to get such a difficult text onto a level for younger readers. It was interesting. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It would be appropriate for students who are reading short chapter books. The content concerns me a little. The religious undertones and mature topics would make me worry about having it in my classroom. I might have it in my home library though.

What a great book! The Tale of Paradise Lost gives a clear meaning of Satan's role in the fall of man.

The author keeps to Milton's thoughts. Like the concept of the fallen angel changing his mind.
