Fun, witty and enlightening

Pros: clever and witty, well written

Cons: not the best logical arguement

A great book. Very quotable and full of refreshing perspectives on just about everything you could imagine pertaining to relevant thought. My only criticism of it is that, if you approach it as a defense of Christianity, it's not very logically c...oherent. I sometimes found the logic of his conclusions would get unintelligably tangled in his extraordinary wit as he attempted to express how he arrived at his belief. It approaches it from a witty, emotional and intelligent perspective; but, if your looking for something logically sound, I actually prefer C.S. Lewis or Ravi Zachariah, both of which were significantly influenced by Chesterton. But over all, it was a very enjoyable and profitable read that really helps expand the perspective by which you observe the wonder and majesty of the world of thought which we often take for granted. All in all, I enjoyed it very much. Read more Less
