The Great Divorce Paperback – Deckle Edge, February 6, 2001

The Great Divorce excels at story telling in a way that captures your heart. It's a fictional story, but C.S. Lewis weaves in different theological ideas in story form. Yes, he does admit that everything in the story if speculation but it's hard not to believe that his theology influenced his writing of this book.The beginning starts off a little slow but there are multiple points in the book that are really enchanting, more than at the story level, but at the heart level as well. You begin to see yourself in some of these characters and their decision-making. More importantly, he does a great job of imagining what life in the next world might be like. Of course, that's speculation, but if he's able to enchant your heart with his own thoughts, how much more will it actually be!

This is a terrific book for homeschoolers literature category. Quite informative and an interesting perspective.

Great book. I got the soft cover. Enjoyed the texture edge pages.

C.S. Lewis: always thought provoking! Great insight about life. He develops interesting characters to make his points. A very entertaining book as well.

Lewis is a very powerful writing. That is a known fact. That is why he is so frequently read, quoted, patterned after, and studied. I have listened to many of his books and read Chronicles of Narnia several times. So when this book came up on my book clubs list I thought I will try reading but it its to difficult I can always go to the audio book. Well I nit only read this book. I marked several passages and plan to read it again

5 Stars – Deep and thought-provokingI loved The Great Divorce! It was a great choice for my English class. The book is really deep and brought some new perspectives that I hadn’t considered before. The way it explores the themes of choice, good, and evil is really thought-provoking. It definitely made me think about things in a different light, and I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking for a meaningful read.

The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis is an absolute masterpiece! This allegorical novella takes readers on a journey through a fantastical world, exploring deep theological and philosophical themes. Lewis masterfully blends imaginative storytelling with profound insights into human nature, morality, and the afterlife.

easy to read and understand. Gives reason to consider motivations, personalities, character.Would Not recommend for Group Study though. Only because some chapters are over 20 pages long.
