Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love the C.S. Lewis books and have enjoyed stories of the Lewis-Davidman marriage. Sadly the author, while a popular NYT best-seller, does not seem too deeply familiar with Lewis' works. There is a George MacDonald book referenced as "The Light Princess" which should correctly be "The Lost Princess." Also the author confuses The Last Battle with The Magician's Nephew in a later chapter where she references the latter only to describe the former. Most importantly, it seems simply audacious to approach a biography in the first person and whether her facts of the lives of the characters are more accurate or less so than the above discrepancies, she could certainly have shown more sensitivity to the individuals she involves in her story. There is a definite feminist bent, which may be allowable, but it does seem she treats Mr. Lewis, and even Ms. Davidman's first husband, with an overly judgmental approach at times. While entertaining, it is not an easy book to digest for one who is sensitive to the authors she purports to admire while dragging their intimate lives into the spotlight post mortem. I would not highly recommend this, her latest book.
