Paradise Lost

I am having to read this poem for the Literature curriculum at my local college, and although I haven't finished, I like it alot!

The lines don't necessarily rhyme all the time, as is stereotypical of poems, and the lyrics don't always end at the end of the line, but that's fine as well.

I think the language Milton used is excellent, it gives you clear picture in your head, especially when Raphael is talking about the battles between Gabriel, Michael, Lucifer, and the other angels. I have no head for war terms so it helps that he didn't use them!

I was wondering if anyone else had ever read this? What of Paradise Regained (Is that the correct title? I could be wrong)?
