I found some free audio book downloads a few weeks ago and downloaded a few to have a listen.

Surprised by Joy by CS Lewis

I find this book a difficult one to review. Because of my respect for CS Lewis and his other writings I would like to rave about this one as well, but truthfully I found this book to be a challenge. I was hoping it would give a greater insight into Lewis’ life and conversion from atheism to Christianity, but often it went at great length into rather unimportant events and English literature, sadly most of which I didn’t recognize. Events like his father’s death and service in WWI were glossed over. I was also hoping for more “solid reasons” for why he converted but instead more references to books unknown to me. Read this book if you are a Lewis enthusiast, otherwise there are plenty of other CS Lewis books I would rather recommend.

At many points while reading this book I actually found it quite hard to believe that it was true. The book read to me more like a Fredrick Forsyth novel than an autobiography of a senior inteligence office. It is a much better read than fiction as it is written by a man who has been there and done that.
