Great reading and very comprehensive.

Worth it for the essays alone and the short stories were a great bonus. Makes you wish he had finished The Dark Tower.

Deep thought

C.S. has a simple way of speaking deep thoughts. It is compelling and thought provoking. Personally, I only shutter at the thought that I may never gain enough time In The daily crunch that is modern America where I will find time to read all the great literature that has obviously molded Lewis’s vision of the world.

lewis

Where does C. S. Lewis rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

this is a great purchase. there is a ton of material and on a variety of different topics. the reader is fine. it would likely be best enjoyed by a person who has already experienced c.s. lewis in his other more traditional works, one of his (nonfiction) books. its a great supplement of diverse opinions from lewis for fans already familiar with his writing.

a great read

Lewis seems to have thought about almost every deep and controversial subject and then written about it.

Awesome best money spent on Lewis

Amazing stuff. Most of CS Lewis's writings. Some were life changing, most enlightening and most I would not have ever read if it weren't so complete. Respectfully Bill Steinwedell

Enrichingly Marvelous

Fantastic collection of work, performed exceptionally well. Covers a vast collection of work, but each one offers humor or insight or wisdom.
