He was indeed a great writer until his religion seeped into his writing after that his books were as
most consider rubbish. |

C.S. Lewis was an amazing author, I am rereading his Chronicles of Narnia series. Jakers, no she
doesn't go to Hell for being interested in make up and boys, she stopped believing in Narnia. That
is why she doesn't get to go back. You have to look deeper into the symbolism implied. |

Agreed. His imagination is outstanding. He has an unprecedented talent for capturing his readers. |

I think so i don't agree with everything but he raises a lot of good points. |

He was a great author, he had so much imagination, it was incredible how he came up with all those
magical creatures. |

He was pretty good |

Jake Armitrage was a great taxi driver. He was an atheist turned Christian. That makes him great. He
wasn't so good at rounding corners or navigating difficult traffic. In fact, he trashed three cabs
and killed four passengers in the course of his taxi-driving career, but somehow he always seemed to
survive the mash-ups himself. Perhaps the God he newly believed in was smiling down at him. Or
perhaps it was just a random quirk of chance.
Unlike most taxi-drivers, he constantly got lost in the city. He was always having to stop to
consult a street map while his concerned passengers waited angrily in the back. Sometimes they would
shout and curse at him. Jake didn't care though. He knew that God was on his side.
Yes, Jake had many deficiencies as a taxi driver. But the fact that he was once an atheist and then
started believing in an omnipotent invisible magical being erased all that and made him great. |

Some of his fantasy works were quite good, his theological works were pretty ridiculous and he'll
forever be a laughing stock for coming up with the ridiculous Liar, Lunatic, Lord Trilemma.
Great writer, yes. Great theologian, not so much. |

C.S. Lewis was an atheist turned Christian thanks to J.R.R. Tolkien, an even better writer. C.S.
Lewis was also a Tolkien wannabe, so no, he's a terrible writer. |

I cant read his books for more than a few minutes. They bore me. |

He was an atheist turned Christian. My arch nemesis and traitor of the worst kind. Now, please do
correct me if I'm wrong, but if my memory serves me correctly, isn't it implied that, in the last
book, the eldest girl goes to Hell for being interested in make-up and boys? |

C.S. Lewis was a hack.
Even his best friend, JRR Tolkien, said Lewis' "Liar, Btich and the Warthog" was over the top with
its Christian propaganda.
But then, Tolkien's one to talk isn't he, especially since his son, a catholic priest, was a sent to
prison for molesting children.
