A must read for Lewis fans and for all who have tasted the pangs of Joy.
3 1/2 stars • The first half was just a smidge boring. Didn’t realize that C.S. Lewis spent a large portion of his life as an atheist. This life story fascinatingly paints how, when you search for true and life-sustaining sources of joy, you can’t help but find God in the process. (Even if, like C.S. Lewis, you fight so desperately hard to avoid Him.)
This was by far the hardest Lewis book I've read. I had a hard time following what he was trying to say and understanding some of the language he used. I enjoyed learning more about his upbringing and his salvation.
A delight. Honestly, everyone who loves Lewis and idolizes him ought to read his account of his early life and how he came to faith. Also anyone who separates joy and happiness bc Lewis's definition of Joy is as a uniquely separate term from regular joy. It makes me excited to read the Four Loves in the future and discover what he really thought about them.

He read a lot. Why Hinduism & Christianity? What was the criteria?
Mostly autobiographical. Several tangents that I'm too dense to understand the relevance. Related to many aspects of early childhood depictions.

Achei o livro uma reflexão muito interessante. Gosto muito da escrita dele, mas tinha vezes que se tornava meio confuso, mas logo dava pra entender depois
