Rating: Summary: A fabulous book Review: Probably one of the best books that I've ever read. I'm really looking forward to reading it again and seeing how my perceptions change, because the story and message are timeless.
Rating: Summary: Great book! Review: This is one of the more difficult books by C.S. Lewis to get through, but it is well worth it to keep going. I love this book so much, and the ending was very touching.
Rating: Summary: remarkable literature Review: I purchased this book reluctantly. It started out methodically(as THAT HIDIOUS STRENGTH) but had an ending that literally knocks your socks off. I expect a Christian theme with Lewis, but this story delved into more morphous questions of diety and love. Definitely one of Lewis's top five.
Rating: Summary: To a reader from Mount Vernon, Washington Review: Dear reader, I agree with you wholeheartedly that Till We Have Faces is an interesting book, but I do not think that the dear departed would appreciate being reffered to in the feminine. I know many great writers have suffered persecution both during and after their lives, and I realize you may not have known any better (which makes me wonder how you could have really enjoyed TWHF) but so as not to confuse any other readers or potential readers, CS Lewis was a man. Clive Staples may not have been the best name and he may have gotten beat up once or twice for it in elementary school, but please don't confuse him with a girl.
Rating: Summary: This is an excellent story by C.S. Lewis. Review: I give this fantastic book 5 big gold stars***** I have read a book entitled Till We Have Faces by C.S.Lewis. This book is about two princesses: an ugly princess named Orual, and a beautiful named Redival. Orual is very wise but no one likes her except a red-headed man called Fox. Redival is a beautiful princess but she is not wise and she is really rude.This story tells how much Orual suffered with her family. If you want to know more read this interesting book. C.S. Lewis has a way of making you keep reading her book. She makes every page exiting and describes every single detail which will make that part seem real.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic insight into our failure to understand ourselves. Review: This book is often misunderstood due to the posibility that Lewis intended to be aligorical. The Book in general is an aligory of how we fail to understand ourselves and our world because we examine it only with our senses and perspectives. The perspective of the gods however, may be extremely different than our own as well as the use of our senses can keep us from understanding the spiritual.
Rating: Summary: If you have eyes to see... Review: You will really enjoy this book. Lewis is one of those rare individuals that is able to express the truth with clarity and power, and you can feel it in your heart. I found this book to be beautiful and exciting and believe that one day we will all have faces.
Rating: Summary: Why can't we see God and live? The answer is revealed. Review: As a searcher for the meaning and truth of "Who and what is God? Is there only one way - one religion?" this is one of three books that have influenced my private theology and my personal relationship with God. The others two: "Kim" by Rudyard Kipling and "Sidhartha" by H. Hesse. I highly recommend that this beautiful fable be read by searchers and doubters and firm believers. Mr. Lewis certainly does not hit you over the head with his point of view. As with all messages of faith, each reader may find a different and personal meaning.
Rating: Summary: Deserves to be on any list of 20th century "Classics" Review: As a teacher of college-prep high school English, I include Lewis' Till We Have Faces on the list of 20th century classics. Since first reading it some twenty years ago, I have reread this incredible story numerous times. Lewis' rich treatment of the themes of love and justice (among others) is outstanding. I'd love to have it in hardcover; my paperbacks keep wearing out from reading and loaning and reading and loaning...
Rating: Summary: One of the most beautiful books i have ever read Review: Like the title says, this story is so beautiful. I am a CS Lewis fan and I have read the majority of his books, and this is by far my favorite.
