A review by rhearne
The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis

reflective slow-paced

2.0

My gripe with non-fiction is that often you are presented the authors opinions on a matter with very little evidence. Statements are thrown around as fact. Phrases like "that is why....", "it means..." or "therefore (insert unsubstantiated fact)" are littered throughout. This was one of those books. 

I knew coming into this that I needed to cater for the era and demographic of the author. I acknowledged the sexism and was willing to use it to reflect on how far some aspects of society have come. But I do not agree with a lot of the opinions presented in this. Normally I love a different opinion. It gives insight into others minds and lives and allows us to question our own opinions, why we have them and if we should uphold them. Discussions or reading about things you don't agree with is so important for learning and I absolutely love doing this when differing opinions are presented well. I do not believe they were presented well here.
