    This should be a book which will open the eyes of those looking for hope and meaning about life.

    It's Christmas and I bought this book for my son. I read a synopsis and some reviews on this book. I leafed through this book and managed to read a few pages.I can say those few pages allow me to state that this book is deep and fascinating and shows a soul searching for meaning and answers to the seemingly random and cruel and tragic things which can befall humankind. I cannot wait to read the entire book. C.S. Lewis, the author, abandoned his Christian faith but then later returned to it and became a great and widely acclaimed Christian apologist. This book explains his abandonment of his faith and his later return to it.

    Interesting but too detailed

    I certainly respect C. S. Lewis and wanted to learn more about his early life. That has significant value, however, I got weighed down by description of his high school and college years, some of it because the British system is foreign to me.

  • Not light reading

    This isn't some motivational, minute a day devotional. This is an intellectual describing his journey to faith.
