The Four Loves Audiobook

" Na to ako som sa tesila na dalsiu knihu od Lewisa, som nebola uplne nadsena. Vela peknych myslienok, ale ako celok ma neocarila. "

" Oops.. I actually did finish this one "

" Lewis is generally wise about how humans behave and what obstacles they tend to put in the way of being good to one another, even if you don't share his Christianity. The places where he fails to convince, however, are spectacularly large, because his social conservatism and his bigotry against other faiths can't help but come out, being much of what define his thinking. But he belongs to a small group of English conservative writers--Evelyn Waugh and Saki are the others--whose levels of insight and talent keep me reading them, even if their condescension (extending, of course, towards "liberated" women) is unpalatable. "

" Every page is delightful. In many ways the study is autobiographical - one can see Mrs. Moore in Affection, the Inklings in Friendship, and Joy Davidman in Eros. Mrs. Fidget in the chapter on Affection is a new favorite Lewis character. "

" Labor of love. Emphasis on LABOR... "

" A nice outline of the different kinds of love we can experience in a lifetime as well as the importance of these different kinds of love. "

" Of course, C.S. Lewis is always amazing. "

" Lewis is one of the best theologic philosophers in history but this one was difficult for me to get through. "

" Lewis is humble and brilliant in this exposition of the most substantial and significant inter-human emotion. "

" Lewis examines the many facets of love with his keen mind and remarkable logic. "

" I think this book was eye opening and inspiring for me. I had never catagorized love and it was interesting to read love catagorized in this way. "

" A discourse on Love in four of its forms. Not the easiest of reading, but really touching. "

" CS Lewis has some amazing analogies and helps me to think deeper about things I take for granted. "

" anything C.S. Lewis wrote is golden "

" I love reading this book. As many times as a I read it I always find something new and refreshing. "

" Amazing! I had to read it out loud to myself for it really sink in though. I want to read it again! "

" This book provides C.S. Lewis' take on various types of human relationships, including friendship, romantic love, and Christian/spiritual charity. The book is thought-provoking, and provides some very clear warnings for ways in which human love can get off-track. "

" I didn't completely finish it, but I think I got all the way to Eros. The book itself is a really good text on love. It's CS Lewis with his usual style and graceful writing that makes complicated things almost make sense. It is, at the least, a very interesting insight on how he interprets love. "

" I finally finished this book after much perseverance. I love C.S. Lewis' writing, but this book was more philosophical than I expected. It was still a worthwhile read (obviously, because Lewis is a genius). "

" The chapter on Friendship was extraordinary. "

" Also read in 1993 "

" I did not finish the book. The beginning was really interesting but the end did not hold my attention. Maybe I'll pick it up again sometime. "
