Book Reviews of Jack: A Life of C. S. Lewis
Book Review: A must read for Lewis fans...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a C.S. Lewis fan for many years, but always wanted to know more about the man and his personal history beyond what I could decipher from 'Surprised by Joy' and some of his other books. Sayer's book was excellent - well written, thoroughly researched and documented (the bibliography is a library in itself) and seemed to include the very details that I wanted to know. It was written with the warmth of a friend who knew Lewis but at the same was committed to an honest evaluation and assessment of some of the darker sides of 'Jack', Jack's father, and his brother Warren. For me as an American reader it also included enough explanation of certain things (like the school situation at the time of Lewis's youth, the college arrangements when he became a fellow, etc.) that I was able to better understand how some of the pieces of the history fit together. I enjoyed every single chapter - Sayer is a truly capable writer in his own right and I would consider this book a must-read for any Lewis fan.
