An even briefer overview of Jack's life than, erm, Jack's Life, The Man Who Created Narnia is a suitable read for those just leaping into the quietly amazing life of C.S. Lewis. The style is easy to read, and the facts are presented well, though in no great detail.

Lettlest, men ikke veldig dyptgående. En enkel oversikt over Lewis' liv, muligens passende som bakgrunnsstoff for en litterær særoppgave på ungdomsskolen? Mange flotte fotografier trekker opp. Skulle gjerne fått mer info om Oxford, the Inklings, hans allegoriske produksjon m.m.
A little dry in places, but overall I much enjoyed the window into such a fascinating, spiritual-yet-cerebral man. He's one of my Quote Journal favorites!
A decent biography, although quite brief, and easy to get through. Not bad if that's what you're after.
Very interesting and readable. I enjoyed learning more about one of my favourite authors.
A quick read with some basic facts about this author.
Very interesting and a very quick read. It left me wanting to read another biography on CS Lewis to fill in some of the holes or areas of his life that were glossed over.
