I read a few chapters, but the invented story of George and Megs was too artificial and contrived. I could not believe in them, nor in the idealized Saint Jack Lewis (would he really smile wholeheartedly upon an unknown girl who entered his study? Would he not look at least a little surprised or quizzical, if not annoyed?) I'd rather read a straight biography that explains how Narnia came to be, citing original sources instead of the made-up imagination of a made-up boy.

Can I just also mention here that authors, if they want to insert some kind of comment on their own books in the Review section on Goodreads (not a review, you can't review your own book!), should not rate said books written by themselves five stars. That is just pathetic.
