A genuinely beautiful book that will leave non-Christians thinking deeply. There is something truly wonderful about The Great Divorce.
Something bothers me about this kind of allegory, but I think that Lewis was pretty successful at what he was going for and there were many great ideas to ponder in this short, short book. Most of it was well-written, although I found the poetry towards the end a bit lacking. Overall a solid book, very worth reading, only takes a few days (and only takes that long because you need time to let ideas sink in before continuing).
