I really liked how completely honest Lewis is in this book. Of course, he's honest and realistic in all his works, but this book is so much more personal.

Isn't that the book where he talks about the house of cards (denying reality) that keeps falling and he patiently begins again to put together his little view of his world, rebuilding his house of cards?
That always fascinates me, b/c I do that all the time. I refuse to see life as it really is because it's too painful.

I really appreciated Lewis's honesty in A Grief Observed. I think the thing that sticks out to me from that book - more than any other of his books is that there's so much real emotional reflection in that book. I'm not saying there's not emotional reflection in his other books, but for the most part his other books seem to be more intellectual reflection.
