Good introduction to the life and thought of Freud and Lewis. I came to this book very familiar with Lewis but quite unfamiliar with Freud.
Some reviews have touched on the author's bias. Armandi gives Freud a pretty fair shake and he's sympathetic to Freud's predicament, but it's obvious that he doesn't share Freud's worldview. But that said, Armandi confesses in the introduction that Freud had the disadvantage of dying first and so never had the opportunity to respond to Lewis' philosophy. It's hard not to come away more attracted to Lewis' worldview than Freud's.
