The Great Divorce audio is outstanding

While every book is excellent, in particular, The Great Divorce was outstandingly excellent in every way. Should be a play.

Loved it.

All narrators work wonderfully with the brilliant writing of C.S. Lewis. I think my favorite was the Screwtape Letters, which was read by a gentleman who seems perfectly suited to the role. At some times I felt myself in the weeds, but it’s just more incentive for me to listen again- which I will!

There’s quite a lot here

Overall - It took me a really, really long time to finish this as the books are all so different and they can be a bit too much. But I believe there’s something for everyone to take from this collection, especially from the first book.
Mere Christianity - Fascinating thoughts about what it means to be a Christian and a human
The Screwtape Letters - Quite odd but entertaining in its oddity, a look at human vices
The Great Divorce - A dream-like fiction of the afterlife, salvation, and human self-obsession
Miracles - Heavily philosophical, some interesting nuggets but much, much less accessible
The Problem of Pain - A slog to get through, seemingly random walk reaching more and more conclusions based on countless assumptions
A Grief Observed - Relatable and sad ruminations on the impact of his wife’s expected death on him and his faith
The Abolition of Man - Philosophical take on whether there really are any values and what the contrary means for man
The Weight of Glory - This is the most disparate collection of works in this audiobook. Transcripts of talks on various topics. Lots of interesting reflections, hard to summarize.

Excellent, in every way

I’ve read most of these many times, and this excellent production has fed me with wisdom and Grace again. I was not familiar with the final selection that reminded me of Pascal’s Pensées: some esoteric, some dahlia bulbs that flower spectacularly.

A comprehensive collection of CS Lewis' books

This is a long set of books with wonderful and diverse topics. I enjoy reading CS Lewis, but I did take a couple if breaks to read other books in between books in this compilation. I recommend this reading for those who are interested in Christianity and apologetics.

All Under One Roof

I rather enjoyed listening to each of these books by C.S. Lewis. I was fond of the Screwtape Letters in particular. How wonderful it was to have these "Letters" read aloud that gave them such meaningful insight into what Lewis was aiming to achieve. A beautiful collection, indeed!
