Review: Lilith

Lilith by George MacDonald
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The book was an interesting read. I can see where C. S. Lewis got his inspiration as Mr. MacDonald was an author that Lewis had read.
The story can seem to drag in places, but I think that is the nature of the time period that it was written in. The authors that I have read of this era seem to like to say a lot of words to say something simple.
If you cannot stick with the story through the long opening sections which seem to make no sense, than I would not recommend the book. It is an allegory of what life is and where we are all going. You take out of it what you put into it.
Not recommended to everyone. You have to want to read it.
