Heavy stuff, is it?

well it's literature, hehe, but totally readable. Lewis is known for describing personalities and their foibles and nuances, as in 'Main Street', so that is the heart of any of his stories. Oh yes he carries on the theological debate, a bit heavy handed there, but also considering it was written in the 1920s, that puts an interesting perspective on the story too.

Well, to me - not at all a religious man - that sounds like heavy stuff. But on the other hand it do sound interesting (If only I had the time ;-)
