pickFound this interesting. Some of C.S. Lewis's arguments could be difficult to follow. While I might not agree with every point, I still found the book thought-provoking.

I've been working my way through this. Besides the "Narnia" series, it's the first C.S. Lewis book I've read.
pickNarnia for adults, in a way. I love Lewis‘ ability to articulate difficult mysteries in an understandable way yet without robbing them of their ineffable-ness.

I feel like every review of Lewis nonfiction for me could be the same: it takes some work, but it's worth it.
You can trust Lewis to build (and build and build) an argument in a way that is logical, philosophical, and tongue-in-cheek and then bring you to a conclusion that has you more sure than ever of Christ and God's goodness.
This book was written 84 years ago, but its message is timeless.
“Not many years ago when I was an atheist, if anyone had asked me, ‘Why do you not believe in God?‘ my reply would have run something like this: ‘Look at the universe we live in.‘”

so-soAs often happens with long fantasy series, the story is starting to sprawl, meaning that this book doesn't end up resolving any of the storylines. Even the trope of exploding dichotomies is starting to wear thin - this book tries to complicate Past and Present and doesn't really succeed. I'll still probably continue to read the series to see it out to the end.
pickWell. I am a fan of Kaiden and that‘s all I really came here to say. These books rock. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickIgnore the sensationalist cover; this is a thoughtful, sober book written by a prominent psychiatrist who has consulted on severe cases of distressed individuals - some of whom, the author believes, are possessed, for the simple reason that there is no other conceivable explanation for their nightmarishly unlikely symptoms. Your mileage will vary based on your beliefs, but I recommend it based on the author‘s intelligence and compassion alone.
panSecond book I‘ve read by the author with no success. He is probably just not for me, but I don‘t really think this book is worthy of it‘s place on the #1001books list. 2⭐️
