A wonderful allegory about what Heaven & Hell may look like & what we may become. I love the description of a Christian lady who in heaven, became a Lady of exceeding beauty & joy that “there is joy enough in the little finger of a great saint such as yonder Lady to waken all the dead things of the universe to life!”

A brilliant piece about how heaven and hell might
look like and the many depections of fallen man. I found Lewis's
interpretation of how hell was a place without God where people were
left to themselves were very well described. How the men looked through
the windows and saw Nepoleon pacing and still re-living his life in his
mind since that was his God; his goals and earthly ambitions. The
conversation between the self-righteous Ghost and the former murderer
was also both hilarious and depressing, especially when the
self-righteous Ghost insisted that he was only asking for his rights and
not anyone's bleeding charity! This and the many other meetings between
the ghosts and the spirits serve to show us how each one of the ghost
had a different god of their own and how deeply unhappy they remain but
still refused to exchange their false gods for the real thing.
Ultimately
the book can be summed up with one line. "There are only two kinds of
people in the end: those who say to God,"Thy will be done," and those to
whom God says, in the end,"Thy will be done."
