Summary: Masterful fantasy again!!
Review: "The Great Divorce" was a wonderful read. I have read 18 of his works (all I recommend) And I recommend this one to anyone who likes to keep their imaginations fresh and young.It is fantasy in the way that only Lewis can conjure it. Full of insightful analogy and beautiful, flowing metaphor. The imagery he uses brings to vivid life the hidden thoughts and suspicions we all have about ourselves and the workings of the inner man. All of Lewis' works of fiction, particularly this one carry-at least for me-that movement of mind toward those things that we see as "through a glass darkly". The process of taking the mind there invokes awe and wonder at the limitlessness of God. Not just God's ways but the infinite and out of timeness of God as a personal entity. I brings me to that place of childlike wonderment, and just when you think it gets no better, or deeper, he reveals better and deeper still till it extends beyond the edge of comprehension of our frail human intellect -and can only be embraced by the heart.

Summary: Thought Provoking!
Review: Lewis' short fiction THE GREAT DIVORCE is an engaging drama of the ever-dreaded, yet inevitable, afterlife that all of humanity will face. Lewis takes his readers on a "bus trip" from the dreary streets of hell to a land that one could deduce to be something of a Purgatory. The author creates intriguing senarios between the many faces of humans and the enlightened "spiritual beings" that challenge the reader immensely. The ever-so nebulous spirits in the ever-so mysterious place frustrate the minds of Lewis' characters as well as the minds of his readers. A thought provoking, short, fiction for literature lovers and thinkers alike! Buy this book!!

Summary: The most personal, most influential book I've ever read.
Review: As I step forward to attempt to write a review of The Great Divorce, I acknowledge that words probably won't express how important this little book is to me. Lewis' intellect is so brilliant as to easily illuminate the most profound thoughts, ideas, truths--anyone can follow the language, who will. With each read (so far there have been six), there is more wisdom and food for thought. This is a book that can change your life. It changed mine.

Summary: simply, the best book i've ever read.
Review: like the other reviewers, i too, have read this book so many times i've lost count. each read is like a new trip to heaven. all the wisdom and insight in this book would be impossible to capture in one reading. every time you read it, it will speak directly to something happening in your life, whether it be a person you know, a problem you're having, or just your ever-changing relationship with the creator. lewis's insight into human nature is so accurate and frank, you will find yourself laughing out loud, conviced he's writing specifically about you. also, if you've read the great divorce you have to read the space trilogy. if you haven't read these three of lewis's you need to...right now...scroll up and find them and buy them now! you'll thank me...

Summary: True faith given a cover of fiction
Review: I have read the Great Divorce 4 times and each time I read it I glean some new insight into Lewis and his "Seeing Eye." I don't need to elaborate on the content of the book the other reviewers have done so, so eloquently. But for anyone who really wants a fictional picture of both Heaven and Hell this book is a must. Lewis, who was and still is one of the 20th centuries-greatest apologists for Christianity brings Heaven and Hell to life like no other writer I have ever read. The first time I read the book I could not put it down it is a quick read with beautiful, well rounded and scriptural accurate views on Heaven and Hell a must for any library.

Summary: An Intriguing Examination
Review: C.S. Lewis brings his reader from the gray-dusk and shawdowy unreality of "hell" to the pre-dawn hours of the gloriously solid "heaven." Journeying through _The Great Divorce_, Lewis's reader gains insight into humanity's deepest roots of entanglement with self, sin and brokeness as they come to light in various characters in the book. Finally, the reader catches a glimpse of God's gorgeous gifts to those travelling toward Him; a challenge that makes Lewis's book less about Heaven and Hell and more about the choice of living in the kingdom of God or not.
