Maybe a Happy Ending? -Sydney Snow

I did not think this book would end on as good of a note as it did. Although Adam and Eve both got kicked out of paradise, it could have ended worse for them. God could have totally disconnected from the two like he did with Satan, but he didn't. God could have killed them, but he didn't. I think He didn't kill them for the same reason he did not kill Satan and his followers. He still cared about them in a sense. But the difference between the two (Satan and the pair) is their different responses. Adam and Eve had a better response, which I think made their outcome better. Because of their want for God and everything about Him, He showed them more mercy. That was a shock to me. It also shocked me that the future of mankind was revealed to them. At least they now know that God's Son will come and "fix" the problem the two created. I just assumed Milton would come up with some odd ending that didn't turn out that well.

I liked this book more than I thought I would. I have always heard folks complain and complain about it. But, I enjoyed it. After getting passed the slight difficulty I had with the verse style, I was hooked. I wanted to know what was going to happen next (even though it is so similar to the story we already know). The book actually reminded me a little bit of the t.v. show Supernatural. The first season or two are mostly just about different monster, but they later on begin to use stories and facts from the Bible. That show is completely fiction though. But, the book was giving me major Supernatural vibe.
