The Great Divorce

CS Lewis did a wonderful job, as always with this fictional narrative. Vivid imagery & such descriptive detail.So many real life examples were given & will strike chords within you as you read. Beautiful yet tragic truth, told via an adventurous adult fiction story.I loved it. I’ll be thinking it over & rehashing highlights for awhile!

The Great Divorce excels at story telling in a way that captures your heart. It's a fictional story, but C.S. Lewis weaves in different theological ideas in story form. Yes, he does admit that everything in the story if speculation but it's hard not to believe that his theology influenced his writing of this book.The beginning starts off a little slow but there are multiple points in the book that are really enchanting, more than at the story level, but at the heart level as well. You begin to see yourself in some of these characters and their decision-making. More importantly, he does a great job of imagining what life in the next world might be like. Of course, that's speculation, but if he's able to enchant your heart with his own thoughts, how much more will it actually be!

This is a terrific book for homeschoolers literature category. Quite informative and an interesting perspective.

C.S. Lewis: always thought provoking! Great insight about life. He develops interesting characters to make his points. A very entertaining book as well.

Great book. I got the soft cover. Enjoyed the texture edge pages.

A short and thoughtful allegory about the power of choice humans have between their own selfish misery and selfless joy.It’s heartbreaking to think heaven and happiness could exist so close and be available to anyone for the asking, but be rejected for the safety and familiarity of the hell we make in our own minds and nurse in our hearts.

Great book. Lots of good lessons in a fun story. A classic that every body should read at some point in their lives.

easy to read and understand. Gives reason to consider motivations, personalities, character.Would Not recommend for Group Study though. Only because some chapters are over 20 pages long.
