Wonderful little read. Lewis at his finest.

Have you ever wondered what heaven might be like? What hell might be like? Is there anywhere in-between?

I really liked it but a lot of things confused me.

Some people claim that the process of "speculating" about certain things that are not mentioned in the Bible (when it comes to discussing Christian theology) is dangerous at best and heretical at worst. This is probably because it's usually done poorly. That is not the case in this parable/allegory of the afterlife written by one of the great writers of the modern era. Lewis does a masterful job at not only describing some of the dangers of the Christian life, but also gradually revealing them in a way that allows for the reader to discover the important points of each argument as his/her own place. This is truly one of the best books I've ever read, and I learn something every time I re-read it. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.
