Read 2 times. Last read April 13, 2022 to April 18, 2022.

2022: Added a star this reading. I still find it quite challenging.

2020: I didn't factor how difficult I would find C.S. Lewis to sometimes be.

I first listened to this book as I walked. Bad idea. It ricocheted off my brain. I read the words. I listened and read together. Finally, I watched the book/listened to audio with CSLewisDoodle on You Tube. It truly improved with each excursion, and by improving I mean my understanding inched forward.

One thing about C.S. Lewis: his ideas are as relevant now as they were in 1944.

In short, I want to give this five stars; alas, in order to love it, I feel I should get it.

I certainly want to take another go at this in the future.

Diane Lewis is so often an intense slow read!

Krista Staigle Yes...Ricocheted is such a perfect work for how I feel. I feel like someone is reading me stereo instructions in an extremely thick accent.
