This collection of essays was boring at times and interesting at others.

I remember in Sayers' case, I was interested at first, but got bored as it went on.

I generally enjoyed C. S. Lewis and Tolkien's essays.

W. H. Lewis' essay was interesting and definitely written on an important subject, but it seemed so jarring after the others. The book definitely ended on a very sad note. (
