3.0

Have always loved and respected GK Chesterton’s faith, his ability to maintain relationships with people with whom he disagreed and his writings. That said, this book was a tough read. It might be more accurate to call it a “literary biography” since it focused on his writing and other people’s reviews of his writing. As others have said, the quotes from his and others writings were not selective or focused enough. With regret, I can’t recommend this book.
