I will admit that I dont care much for C.S. Lewis's writings. Even his book Mere Christianity, though ok, was not my cup of tea. His books would not be the book I would reach for on a cold wintery day or just want to enjoy a book. I esp. dislike the Narnia writings, nonsense and a twisting of the truth, in my opinion. Fairy tales and Jesus dont mix. But this one book of his I like a little more than his others. Some of it is a little bloneyish but the most of it is very interesting and heartfelt. You feel his lose, you feel his conflict over what emotions to feel, you feel his guilt when he does feel good and his sadness when his memories of his late wife pull him back down and then back up again. I liked his honest retelling of his interaction with his deceased spouse. I would recommend this book to anyone suffering grief over the loss of a loved one. I give this book a 3 for its humaness and its sincerity. I think he does nothing to harm the gospel but does open the mind of those who have questions regarding spiritual beings and the hereafter and in that regard does help further the truth.
