My View: Incredible. Loved it, especially interesting in light of the course I'll be taking on eschatology this semester and my most recent theology course on the works of C.S. Lewis's inspiration, G.K. Chesterton. And it's a tiny little thing you can read in a day or two!
Always,
Your Bibliomaniac
