Surprised by Laughter by Terry Lindvall

I’ve always been a fan of C. S. Lewis. He was, simply put, a brilliant mind with a thrillingly whimsical side. Combining in his published arsenal both deep theological works as well as fantastic fantasy, C. S. Lewis was truly a great man. However, as much as I had like his works, I never knew much about the man behind the books. I understood his conversion, and some basic knowledge, but really knowing what the man was about? I had no clue. This book lets you understand more of Lewis’ style in writing, his humour, etc. If you are a fan of C. S. Lewis, I would sincerely recommend this book- but you really have to be a devoted fan. This is a lengthy novel and requires a good chunk of time to actually read the thing. However, I found it well worth the read and I give it a good four out of five stars!

Just so you all know, just to clarify, I received this book for free from the publisher through the Thomas Nelson booksneeze blogger program. I was not required to give this a positive review, this is one hundred percent my own honest opinion. For sure!
