My first taste of Edwards. I have difficulty reading non-fiction, my mind wanders excessively.
Despite that I found this to be a very good and satisfactory book.
The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis — 133
This didn’t speak to, touch, draw, etc. me… All that stuff about second chances and purgatory was a little bit muddling.

Charming book! I think it might technically be a squeak below my “reading level”, though.

My review of the series:
Honestly, the series isn’t terrific. It is one of the first times I can say the movie is better than the books. I’m not a big fan of magic, faeries, and “fantastical” creatures, so maybe that’s why I didn’t enjoy the books. Also, the books are expensive! Each book is $11, so that’s $55 dollars for the whole series if you buy them individually (but, on Amazon, they have a deal for the box set for $37). But that’s my opinion. If you want to read them, I recommend that you rent them from a library, or see if a friend has them.
Now, I’m off to read another book… I don’t know which one though…
