Summary
C.S. Lewis's dazzling allegory about heaven and hell - and the chasm fixed between them - is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, as he takes issue with the ideas in William Blake's ‘The Marriage of Heaven and Hell'.In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell. He meets a host of supernatural beings far removed from his expectations, from the disgruntled, ghostly inhabitants of Hell to the angels and souls who dwell on the plains of Heaven.This powerful, exquisitely written fantasy is one of C.S. Lewis's most enduring works of fiction and a profound meditation on good and evil.

Stunning!
Lewis’s greatest work, stunningly read. Absolutely amazing. Listen to it - again and again. And since I am told my review requires at least fifteen words - again and again again!

Another great insight to the Christian life
Made me think a fresh about the reality of life after death . It brought home to me if one wants to live in heaven, one needs to desire and want to live the Christian ideal of loving God and neighbour, and the book gave an insight to the challenge involved in try to do so.

Thought provoking
There are not many books that make you think so much and yet make you want to think even more.

One of the best books I have ever read
I love this book and really enjoyed having it read to me, it brought out different aspects of the narrative than when I read the words, adding richness and insight. You can't beat C.S. Lewis for deep yet accessible writing and I will be regularly revisiting this audio book in the future.

5 Star challenge to philosophy.
C S Lewis & George MacDonald are two great thinkers who have bowed the knee to their Creator, unlike most philosophers. So their work is refreshingly pure & humble; their creative genius gives credit to their Maker, where it is due.

A definite must for your library
Love it! Every time I listen I hear something new, it may be fiction but there is real Truth in its telling.
