Title: a few nuggets but very disappointing
Review: Twenty years of doing interviews, one year of time off to write, and we get THIS book? Where are the interview quotes? Where is the meat? Where are the diverse human personalities of voices other than the author? I borrowed this from the library and read it in an hour. There are a few nuggets in the chapter on spiritual direction, but the Cowley monks in Cambridge recently printed another version of that chapter in their magazine which is as good as this whole book. Read that and Alan Jacobs' The Narnian if you want good new stuff on Lewis. But best of all, skip the biographers and just read Lewis himself, especially the Letters.
Is the review positive or negative?
