   Wow.  You really should check your crossposts before you write things like   
   that.  You're not likely to find much support for that opinion in   
   rec.arts.books.tolkien or alt.books.inklings, and probably not even in   
   alt.books.cs-lewis.   
      
   "Strange" is OK, but "wrong" is quite wrong, and it's true that it's well   
   written in parts, but those are _all_ the parts.
