While this book isn't nearly as well known as Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia," which I love, that doesn't in any way take away from how beautiful this book is. Lewis had an amazing grip on a very wide variety of genres, everything from apologetics (Mere Christianity) to autobiography (Surprised by Joy) to science fiction (his Space Trilogy) to mythology (Til We Have Faces), not to mention a lot of other well-known works (such as "The Screwtape Letters" or "The Great Divorce"). He is always managed to blow me away and I don't think I've ever read something by him that I don't like. This book is obviously very different than a lot of his other books, but no less amazing.
Although I didn’t think this book dealt with Christian themes quite as often or clearly as some of his other books, I still think he tied in amazing portrayals of some beautiful aspects of life. It explores profound questions of love, philosophy, morality, and all sorts of other issues.
