Jack: A Life of C. S. Lewis by George Sayer
2.0

I was bummed by this one. A friend asked why I gave it 2 stars, and here's what I said: "I love Lewis. (No secret.) But.... I could NOT get into that bio. It just wasn't really very engaging, it wasn't terribly interesting, and I just STRUGGLED to keep reading it. I've been "reading" it for probably like 3 months, and only got about half way... which should tell you a lot considering how much I read and how fast I read. I just really couldn't get into it. I'm planning to revisit it at a later date (I often think timing/life/etc can affect a book's reading) but it just really wasn't as great and fascinating as I had hoped. Don't not read it because of me! You might love it. Just wasn't what I was hoping it would be or expecting it to be." SO, that's that.
