This book offers a pretty thorough biography of C. S. Lewis. I thought quite a bit of attention was paid to the dysfunctional aspects of his personality and it was a trifle disconcerting to think that someone so widely admired could have deep--and rather unresolved--psychological issues. However, it's also comforting to think that someone of the stature of C. S. Lewis managed to contribute a great deal to the world in spite his limitations. I would recommend it as one good biography of Lewis, but it's always good to read several bios about a famous person just to get a more rounded view.
