This book made excellent reading. I rarely wanted to put the book down during or in between chapters. The parallels Lewis pulls from real-life into his fiction are many and impressive. The un-man's temptation patterns are very true-to-life.

Likewise, the pattern Maleldil used in instructing Ransom is very much like the way God communicates with us:

1. God waits for us to be humble, when we are willing to accept anything
2. He inspires us in subtle ways, often in a way that leaves us free to second guess whether it was actually inspiration.
3. He leaves us free to decide whether to act, and then encourages us when we decide to do so.
