Title: A wonderful reworking of a classic myth
Review: This book was a fast read, and coupled with the fact that I really couldn't put it down, it was a really fast read.CS Lewis is one of my favorite authors, I have many of his books, and currently have a few more on my "to be read" shelf. I love the way that he can be a cogent and articulate theologian in such works as Mere Christianity, but then he can switch hats and write wonderful works of fantasy, which have strong undertones of Christianity such as the Chronicles of Narnia (I really need to go back to those, because the more I read snippets of them, the more I realize just how Christian they are), or the Space Trilogy, or this book.What CS Lewis has done here is to take the classical Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche, and rework it. Now one might say, well that myth is a classic, why mess with a classic? Well, read the book and find out. In a way he reworked it, but in another way he wrote an entirely new story unto its own.
Is the review positive or negative?
