There is a reason why this is the most widely published Christian book outside of the Bible. Bunyan, with seriousness and at times with humor, dissects the human condition. I recommend this both to Christians and non-Christians, as it reveals the subtle deceit of many paradigms that we encounter in our lifetime. ( )

This book is such a well-known classic that it seems almost pointless to attempt writing about it. All the same, it's worth mentioning that this is an incredible allegory. Bunyan has an incredible talent for creating images that represent all the obstacles along the Christian walk. Read this book. It's the best of its kind. ( )

This book gives you real insight, how to attain deliverance from the moral decrepitude and rescue yourself from degradation in Faith. ( )

Honestly, I love Christian Allegory, but I felt this was a diluted rip off of the Everyman moral play. I was looking forward to a provocative tale but this came up short with blatant imagery pulled together with the smallest bit of finesse. Sorry to be so scathing Mr. Bunyan. I get that it was to be accessible to the common man, but this is more a pamphlet than a serious piece of literature.
The only reason I think I'll keep reading it is so that I know the references and allusions people take from it. It's an easy enough read. ( )
