I love this book because I am a big Lewis fan. I read this book for the first time in high school in 11th grade from the recomendation from my older brother. I fell in love with this book immediately, and I even wrote a 16-page paper about him. This is a good book confronting the reality of what Heaven and Hell really are. It is a short book, but it does not lack in description or symbolism. If you haven't read anything by Lewis but the Chronicles, don't expect this book to be the same. It is totally different, yet to those who are Lewis fanatics, The Great Divorce is very much like the Chronicles. When I say they are different, I mean the Chronicles are Sci-Fi, but The Great Divorce though it is fantasy, it is more realistic than talking fawns and whatnot.
Although a small book, it is full of imagery and ideas that get you thinking. It leaves you with a different perspective about life and death. Its not hard to see similarities with real life people including yourself. Beware, it might change your life.

My personal favorite of C.S Lewis, right up next to The Last Battle. Lewis gives a picture to what heaven and hell could be. He then proceeds to describe many mans evil ways and how we want to cling instead of running away from them. He doesn’t say this is how heaven and hell are in reality, he just says that this is how they could be, and this is how man is wrong.

C S Lewis has painted an interesting view of Heaven and Hell. The story is compelling.
