Lewis is one of the best and most eloquent Christian writers I know. Although I don't agree with everything he says, he has a way of explaining things that set off "aha!" moments that I can never imagine myself being able to write.
First Chandler I've read that didn't really irritate me! I think the fact that the redeemed person was female this time round helped a lot. Still lots of unlovely females of course, but that's Chandler. I'm also gaining more of an appreciation for Marlowe's innate code. Maybe it's more clearly applied in this book, or maybe free of the usual gender issues that surround Chandler, I can see it better, but I'm starting to apprciate why Chandler gets the praise he does. Anyway good story, can recommend.
This book didn't hold my attention. I quit reading it because I did not find it compelling. I have a friend who says I should give it another chance. Maybe someday.
Heller's last novel is as much memoir as anything. Consider this: it's main character is an author who has never been able to live up to the promise of his much praised first novel. Now, approaching death, all he wants to do is write a novel he can sell to the movies. Sad, yes. Laugh-out-loud funny? Absolutely.
Easy and light read. Didn't take too much away from it.
