Clare- The Great Divorce

# 12, a book with a lion, a witch, or a wardrobe

I cheated on this one. I was going to be snarky and read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (Gryffindors are lions, too many witches to name, and the Vanishing Cabinet... oh yeah!), but if I read one HP book, I'd end up re-reading them all, lol. I decided instead, that I'd keep to the spirit of #12 and read some C.S. Lewis, but not Narnia based C.S. Lewis.

The Great Divorce was in a word, weird. It took me a long time to get into it. Like eight chapters!!! But when it got good, it got GOOD!!!

My cover said, "A fantastic bus ride from Hell to Heaven- a round trip for some, but not for others." I thought that was a weird description, but it is very accurate. The book is about exactly that. My favorite thing about this book was about how Heaven is described as rock hard to the ghosts because it is constant and unchangeable. The ghosts must change to be able to live there. It was an interesting conceptual ride, but I expect no less from Jack.
