    It is, quite honestly, one of the best-written books I have ever read, ever. I think it took me such a long time to read because the first few pages or so didn’t really attract me, in terms of plot, but Chabon’s sentences, my goodness. His sentences are flawless. I want to marry his sentences. Or, in the words of Tracy Jordan, I love his sentences so much, I want to take them behind the middle school and get them pregnant.…

    I described him as talented because he has been an incredible actor and narrator even since he was little. I also described him as talented because of the amount of movies, Oscars, and recognition he’s gotten. Another trait I would describe him with is hard-working. He has endured so many struggles, from segregation to an unfortunate death, and he still has a firm grip on success. I also described him as well-respected. People, like interviewer Mike Wallace from the TV series “60 minutes”, to President Barack Obama, have commended him, saying things like, “He’s a thoughtful man,” and “I respect him immensely,” (Biography.com…

    It may have had a rough start growing up, he was always talented, but losing sight of the Lord when he was younger, side tracked him a little bit. However, that same side tracking may have made him the person, and author he ended up to be. Lewis was passionate about the Lord, you could see it in all his writings. Lewis main themes/ideas is basically anything that will lead people toward, or closer to God. Lewis loved using his writings, to reach out to the fallen world, and give them even a hint of truth, or hope threw fictional characters, like lions. Lewis has a way in his writings to encourage, as well as challenge anyone to be better, or to find truth. One critic I do like says, “the Chronicles can establish in the heart’s of the sensitive reader, a longing for the Christian story” ( Schakel 14). Lewis was a very talented writer, who threw his writings have probably lead at very least thousands to Christ. Lewis had a way with words, that makes you feel like you are truly there in his fiction books, and his nonfiction books are things that are so…
