The Inklings

I really wanted to love this book! I mean, come on, it's set at Oxford in the late sixties (just a year or so after the death of C.S. "Jack" Lewis), the main characters are Christian (and trying to remain pure until marriage), J.R.R. Tolkien makes an appearance, the main characters love Shakespeare--I mean, what is not to love, right? The first 190-or-so pages were awesome!! However, after that, it rapidly deteriorated into one of those "If he loves me, why is he talking to her?" books that I absolutely loathe. I live with a tweenager, so I already have enough angst in my life. LOL

So, I skipped to the last page, saw how it ended and put it in the pile of books to give away. It's really too bad.

The first 190+ pages: 4.5 out of 5
The rest: 1 out of 5
