Title: First-time disappointment
Review: Up until now, I have never been disappointed in a book by C.S. Lewis: fiction, fantasy, non-fiction-all top-notch, gripping and beautifully told. I found the first person narrative of "Till We Have Faces" to be thoroughly unconvincing-it never rang true to me as a story told by a female protagonist. The language seemed unnecessarily stiff, even allowing for the style being imitative of epic prose. I would discourage anyone from reading this book as a first contact with C.S. Lewis (it's probably interesting as an anomaly for readers who are well-acquainted with his work.)
Is the review positive or negative?
