By far his best work IMO. I think he found it to be his best as well. Ayone read it?

It was a remake of a myth. It was very deep with lots of symbolism.

I started to...but I could never get into it.

It starts off REAL slow. Force yourself throught it. I think you would find it worth it. It picks up once you get towards the middle. Great book.

maybe I'll borrow it from my friend again when I'm not reading a million other things for school and such.

Yes, I agree that it is a great book and so deep that I had to almost "chew" on it a while. hehe

Haven't read it. But I have read some of his other work, so I am sure this one is probably just as excellent. He always had a way of explaining things that made them seem so simple & easy to understand.

Perhaps after the holidays when I have time.

Maybe in Mere Christianity, Miracles, The Great Divorce or The Screwtape Letters yeah, but not in TWHF. It is actually my favorite Christian-fiction book.

Of course, Gracie just breezed right through it ;)

well- I decided to pick it up over Christmas break - the first couple chapters were really slow - but it's starting to pick up a bit! I think part of the reason I don't like it very much so far is because I've never been interested in the whole myth/fantasy side of literature..I don't know! I'm gonna try to read it though!

Welllll,

I didn't "breeze" through it. LOL Actually, I was kind of confused there for a while. :biggrin: Then I said "OH!" :eureka:

I like it. I think I might read it again. It's been a long time since I read it.

sorry to bring this old thread up but couldn't help my self...

I love c.s.lewis' stuff. prolly my favorite author.

this book was so amazing. Really deep. you read it and you feel old or really wise.

I love the myth stuff... Sometimes its more real because black is black and white is white.
