Book Reviews of The Four Loves
Book Review: Friendship, affection, charity, and romance
Summary: 4 Stars
A refreshing look at the four different kinds of love, as told by someone who had experience with each, yet whose scholarship and insight excel most others who try to discuss them. I give the book an 8 instead of a 10 because of Lewis's views about friendship - he took very little, if any, interest in the personal parts of his friends' lives, so his views are jaded and different from most of society in this respect. Still, the book (like most of what Lewis wrote) is enjoyable, helpful, and worth buying.Book Review: Used For Love Books
Summary: 4 Stars
I've read a portion of this book as I already have it in my library. 'Very thought provoking and burrows down into a work that is sometime so freely tossed around. I ordered these copies for a friend from four different vendors. 'Not sure if this review applies to any or all of them. I did learn from this experience that I need to look more carefully at comments regarding the condition of used books, as one of them was pretty bad with a lot of highlights and stains on the edge.Book Review: Good to read with friends
Summary: 4 Stars
I first encountered this book in a college Theology class - I'll be honest I didn't read as much as I was assigned. But I didn't forget it. Now I'm reading it with two of my friends and we're really excited about it. Lewis does a great job of outlining the different ways we 'love' things and each other. I highly recommend this to anyone who has ever found themselves trying to figure out someone else's actions or feelings. It helps to put things into a better perspective.Book Review: Amazing for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars
This book truly grips the truth of love and helps people put relationship love and God's love into perspective. I am a teenager who was taken away by Lewis' great work. Any age male or female will be absorbed and grow in wisdom. The book has helped me make decisions that will benefit my future for the better and I am extremely happy to have the chance to read such a great work from an author as talanted as CS Lewis.Book Review: CS Lewis, The Four Loves
Summary: 4 Stars
A very deep and thoughtful work, from which there is much to be learnt. It is not the type of work that can be read in haste or in one sitting. The discussion on the four loves are much too intense to be glossed over. It is well suited not only for the deeply religious but also for anyone desirous of a greater understanding of the many and important attributes of this one simple word Love.
