I really do not know what was happening to me? Last no book does not meet my (excessive?) Expectations. Even "Surprised by joy ' who probably enjoys the same positive feedback, unfortunately, is not satisfied my hunger for good literature.
admit frankly that it was my first contact with the work of the author. I have not read before or "The Chronicles of Narnia" , nor any autobiographical book or any book for adult readers. I had no idea about the artistry of Mr. Lewis' clerical, and yet I feel disappointed and insatiable.
CS Lewis has set a goal to show the reader his own way to happiness. We learn of his life through the prism of faith or disbelief in God, as well as by the presentation of dynamic changes in its approach to the whole of Christianity.
From childhood, a period of school and ending with adulthood, Lewis draws a path to follow. Sometimes it was a way of winding, sometimes bumpy, sometimes simple and enjoyable.
Although quite accurate presentation of important events, important people and thought it was hard for me "feel" of the author. Many times I had to begin to read the page again, and uphold their own concentration, because my thoughts somewhere odpływały.
bothered me that every character and event presented by too shallow, as if he wanted to show the strength of a good side to the detriment of their negative impact on your person. Often he took the blame for the behavior at each other, explaining and justifying others in convoluted ways.
describing whether their relationship with the ever-absent father, or the phenomenon of pederasty in the school is trying to show the bright side, at any rate, the negative aspects. Maybe I'm too little tolerant and open, in order to understand this view.
I realize that the book will contain the joyful side of life, Lewis, probably because the sad part of another show of his works, but somehow not enough for me to be happy. I did not feel that it was sincere and true. Lewis seemed to me as the first of a sad, lost boy, and then frightened young man who fears his tuszował conceit and arrogance. And only in the past, the most philosophical chapters for me, I could understand the author as well as the route to be followed.
Despite my lack of enthusiasm I have no conscience discourage reading, because of something this positive feedback from others must follow. Maybe it was not a book for me, or maybe it was not the right time for it ...
