Negative Positive
Title: highfalutin drivel
Review: I was looking forward to diving into this collection after reading so many positive reviews. Sunday Times writes: "He is admirably equipped to write spiritual biography for the plain man, for his outstanding gift is clarity".My answer to that review and this book is this: Unless you are a scholar you soon will find yourself drowning in a morass of words you most likely have never heard before or never use in everyday life. The problem with highly intelligent people, like C.S Lewis, is this: they do not know how to communicate their ideas in plain language so that "plain" people can understand what they're saying. I call that ignorance.These books are mostly filled with highfalutin, pompous, non-sensical drivel.Unless you are highly intelligent don't waste your money.
Is the review positive or negative?
