C. S. Lewis on Love

Rating:
Summary: A good table book for the intellectual
Review: Although this book couldn't possibly go into very much depth on the thoughts of love, the editor has managed to select some very thought provoking passages. I like it!

Rating:
Summary: Love explained
Review: How refreshing to read Jack powerful prose revealing the uttermost significance of Love. As always he surgically peals our emotions, expectations and dissolutions, this time about love. What Love is?, what love is not, what love should be. Reading Jack is like having a conversation with a long dear friend. Add it to your library.

Summary: For Lewis collectors only!
Review: The central problem I have with these four little volumes, although I must confess to having only seen (and bought) one, rests in the fact they are very short, they do injustice to Lewis's thoughts on the subjects simply because the selection is not wide enough, and, especially on Grief, A GRIEF OBESERVED works so much better as a healing and theraputic book than this little tome ever could. If you're going to get into C. S. Lewis's thought, even if only a sampler, get something like THE BUSINESS OF HEAVEN or THE ESSENTIAL C. S. LEWIS or THE QUOTABLE LEWIS? Items like these characterize the industy that has grown up around C. S. Lewis: all sorts of merchandise is being published cashing in on Lewis and his life -- with Hooper largely at the back of it. If you want a novelty item (which is all this will ever be) or just a little gift I guess you could buy these, but why not spend a little more and buy a real C. S. Lewis book? They're so much richer!
