riddled with narrow-minded assumptions

This book displays Mr. Lewis' gift for writing. The plot is well developed, the language is pretty clear and accessible, and some of the dialogues between the main characters kept my attention. However, none of the characters are well developed and the story is riddled with assumptions about...

interesting approach of heaven and hell

This is an interesting approach to Heaven and Hell. Instead of being chosen, the characters have to choose whether to stay in Heaven or return to hell by choosing to adhere to their attachement such as pettiness, rigid expectations, or possessive love. I personally did not enjoy this book and...

My all-time favorite book

This little story utterly changed my life, in that it actually provided (hypothetical, but completely plausible) answers to me for my questions regarding the difference between religiousity and Christianity. Make no mistake, there is a RADICAL DIFFERENCE!!! Can be read in an hour or two. I...

Time to think

While I read "The Great Divorce", I kept saying to myself, "yes!, I know people like that!." But when I got done I knew that I was looking in a mirror and all those people were me.

Not About What You Think

First: This is not about divorce, it's about Heaven and Hell.Second: This is not about Heaven and Hell, it's about people.It's a stunning device for drawing back the curtain on the human heart and looking at the real weirdness that we go through. It's about what makes good people great or what...

One of Lewis' classics

A man takes a bus trip from Hell to Heaven and learns many things along the way. Those accompanying him all have their own reasons for going, but many decide to actually go back. The 'Ghosts' try to get heaven without the love of God in their hearts. This book is a great fanciful story about...

Outside the Box

C.S. Lewis takes you on a trip that will vastly expand your horizons in "The Great Divorce". It's a 'get out of hell free' ticket to heaven where you will meet some incredible people and be exposed to some 'outside the box' thinking.

My Favorite Book Of All Time

Read this book once and you will be like "it is ok", read it again and you will start to see some of the brilliance of C.S. Lewis. Read it a third time and you will want to read everything that C.S. Lewis writes. He is the best!

an interesting journey, from the depths of woe

The Great Divorce is a modern twist on Dante's Divine Comedy: Inferno. C S Lewis used Dante's basic theme of a solitary man (assumed to be the author) suddenly finding himself on a journey through the afterlife. Lewis differs from Dante in his conversations between the solitary wanderer and the...

My Favorite Lewis Book!

I found this book not only interesting but funny. Lewis knows how to convey serious reflections on human behavior in a humorous way which doesn't reduce their solemn significance. He weaves out of fiction an ultra-insightful analysis of the silly reasons why we are often hell-bent on NOT going...
