The Dark Tower and Other Stories by Walter Hooper, C.S. Lewis
4.0
Overall, this is a collection of works that showcases the inimitable genius and intellect of C.S. Lewis. Sometimes you are whisked away into the darkest realm of reality, and at other times you find yourself faced with a surprise straight out of Greek mythology. A rare blend of early science fiction and an attempt to continue Homer's Iliad are perhaps just a few ways to describe this minor anthology of one of the 20th century's greatest writers.
This book has some manuscript missing, which was one of Lewis's quirks. But, a few of his contemporaries add their analysis at the end of the book, which gives a little more insight into what Lewis was thinking when he wrote these stories. I'd give this a 3 and a half.... just because Lewis made me think beyond the limits of imagination, despite the fact that there were a few omissions in his manuscript.
