Great Research, Engagingly Presented

Enjoyed the audiobook & the treat at the end of hearing recordings of Lewis speaking.

Brilliant biography of a brilliant writer!

Loved it from start to finish. Was already a Lewis fan, but now I admire and appreciate his work more than ever. Well worth reading.

Solid overview of CS Lewis' life

The only book I read by CS Lewis is The Screwtape Letters; which I loved. This biography introduced me to many of his more philosophical/scholarly books, which I know look forward to reading.

Excellent work, excellent delivery!

This is a "must read" for any fan of the works of CS Lewis. I also love that they included two of the Mere Christianity broadcasts at the end.

Wonderful stormy,

I enjoyed the book EXCEPT the author really trashed CS Lewis’ wife and I do not think he had evidence for what he said about her.
