No one uses the English language quite like C.S. Lewis does. His style is clear, humorous, and yet telling. He is a master of the final lineāhis closing lines are often the most powerful and thought-provoking in the piece. Lewis is never sloppy in his use of language. He is always fastidious, and his words are always consummately well chosen. He writes, however, with a certain freshness and simplicity which make him a delight. One need not be a theologian or a scholar to enjoy this book or to understand it.
