Having read all of C.S. Lewis books; this is his best book of all! As Lewis states in the preface, he is writing this book to counter Blake's book written declaring "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell". Lewis himself proclaims not all paths lead to heaven and he is writing of heaven's "divorce" from hell. Thus, "The Great Divorce".
Follow many characters on a fantastic bus ride from earth to heaven. Pass by dwellings in the utter darkness and distance some have choosen as far away from others as possible.
See how choices concerning heaven, love, etc. can be confused for possessiveness and as a departure from the things people attest they desire most.
Glimpse into the spiritual world to "see" it is more real than the physical one we currently inhabit. Oh, the blades of grass in heaven look so clear and transparent but when stepped on, they are sharp and piercing like shards of glass!
Though not as well known as The Chronicle's of Narnia, this book beats my favorite of the series; "The Last Battle".
Invest 2 to 3 hours and have your imagination touched vividly and wonderfully beyond your expectations. You'll never "see" things the same again! View All Music And Book Reviews By Love-ran-to-meLk1520 | View Love-ran-to-meLk1520's Profile
