Download Jack: C. S. Lewis and His Times Audiobook

" inspiring and surprising. this book about one of the great geniuses of modern day reads like a novel. I'm about half way through but it's been really good. I have been slightly slacking on my med school stuff because I'm so into it. "

" Sayer knew Lewis well, was a student of his and then became a friend. This gives great insight into all of Lewis' character. "

" While A.N. Wilson is too hard on Lewis, Sayer's portrait is too sympathetic. Lewis' adoring fans will probably enjoy this book, which barely challenges the saintly image that many have of him; more serious readers will probably be disappointed. "

" An amazing book on the life of CS Lewis. It was well written by a close friend of his and I felt after reading it, that I almost knew him personally. His is a story of courage, commitment, service to others and an amazing intellect. It is also a story of a developing faith, his ups and downs and the way that he worked through life, and faced death. "

" I enjoyed this biography greatly. Sayer was a friend of Lewis', and the book contains some insight from that relationship. He showed Lewis as a real man with struggles but also as a literary genius. A closing Afterword written in 1996, I believe, debunked some of what A.N. Wilson has written. This has been my fun read in the midst of doing my doctoral work. "

" I have read a lot on Lewis, and yet I learned many new things from this book. I don't think Sayers is the most talented biographical writer, but his close friendship with Lewis still makes this a worthwhile read. "

" Along with Douglas Gresham's Lenten Lands, which isn't actually a Lewis Biography anyway, this is probably the introduction to CS Lewis most beginners should start with. Accurate, thorough, and well written. More detailed review later. "

" This is a biography of CS Lewis by his stepson. I haven't found a biography yet about him that I feel like really gives me insight. Because of my love for CS Lewis, I like any nuggets of information I can get. "

" If is you have a pretty hard-core interest in CS Lewis it's one of the best biographies to read about him. But it's not an exciting read. "

" An excellent biography, focusing more on Lewis' literary and academic life than on his spiritual life. "

" Great insight into the life of Lewis. It was encouraging to me to see some of the darker sides of Lewis, because it helps me to know that God often uses people with real, deep wounds to do amazing work. "

" A good general biography of Lewis, though perhaps a little obessessed with Lewis' sexual habits. I swear there was a whole chapter on whether or not Lewis and his wife had sex before they got married. "

" I'm reading this because of my interest in C. S. Lewis' based on what I know and have read from his pen. Not the only biography on Lewis, but one that comes recommended. We'll see how it turns out.... "

" Simply the best biography I've read. Sorry Bosewell. "

" A wonderful adventure through the live of C. S. Lewis. One gets the feeling that they have lived alongside Lewis. A must read. "

" Insightful read.. "

" This was an interesting look into the life of C.S.Lewis. Didn't shy from warts, but neither was it a hatchet job. It was readable and informative and I'm glad I read it. "

" Sayer was a pal of Lewis. He offers many insights into Lewis' world. This is a good read ... but, beware, I'm a huge fan of C.S. Lewis and have read a few biographys about him. "

" Best biography on CS Lewis written to date!! Very well done!! "
