    The Great Divorce is short and easy to read with use of allegory that is not too deep. CS Lewis explores unregenerate sin and its consequences in both this life and eternity. For the reflective follower of Jesus, this book will convict one of his own remaining sin. It should also raise concern if not mourning for friends and family that have hardened hearts.

    This book was simply amazing. It was relatively short and super easy to read. It is one of those books that makes you think about life and yourself: "Am I doing the right thing?", "Is the way I've been living really what life is all about?" I recommend this book to everyone!

    The Great Divorce is an allegorical  journey by bus from the Grey Town (Hell) to Heaven. From there is an extraordinary story of good versus evil, Heaven and Hell, and the inhabitants of each. 

    The Great Divorce is an extremely helpful and thought provoking book and very hard to put down once you start. I finished it in a day! Lewis's descriptions of the concepts of Heaven and Hell are as always, very helpful and clear. I highly recommend this book to everyone, no matter what your religious viewpoints are. Everyone is going either to Heaven or Hell, and The Great Divorce helps us see quite clearly how our present acts and choices are daily leading us towards one or the other.

    Having just joined facebook, I've noticed some people list their favorite books in their profile. "The Great Divorce" happened to be listed on two friends lists and, knowing them to be both well-read and also loving their taste in general, I bought the book. I figured it would be a theological essay. It's not. It's full of powerful dream-like imagery and I found myself having to read a number of pages twice in that -- it is just so -- intense. The characters in the book are so pathetic and yet so familiar to my life which is unsettling. I think storytelling (opposed to preaching or teaching) can be enormously compelling and much more enlightening when the topic is spiritually heavy. This book conveyed "big truths" but did not come across as preachy or overly opinionated. I remember thinking that this (the storytelling aspect, I mean) while reading it and wondering if that is why Christ used parables to teach. I'll stop here...I think more words will just diminish it's impact

    This book can truly change your life. It profoundly exposes the myths that society has accumulated about Purgatory and Paradise. Although it presents the allegory, it also exposes the lie. The answer to our dilemma is found in the careful study of scripture, an intimate relationship with our creator, a complete surrender of our will to Him, and total obedience.
