Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-10 00:00:00 Calvin Woolfolk Depending on which of the 36 books I was reading, some of them I found to be very cerebral, and encouraging of my religious faith, even though I am not a Catholic. Others of the works were stories- pleasure reading, and I enjoyed them as well. The biographies were very difficult for me as I had trouble following what Chesterton was relating to. As Chesterton wrote of some of his contemporaries, like Bernard Shaw, I had a very difficult time relating, as I am not as familiar with those people, as I am an American, and as my knowledge of those people is not very good, I found those writings a bit boring, to be honest. I think my favorites were "Orthodoxy", "Heretics", and "The Superstition of Divorce", each of which were among his non-fiction writings. I LOVE Chesterton's writings about God and faith... and found them to be very thought provoking. It is hard to write a review while "reviewing" 36 separate books, which were quite different from one another.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-10-08 00:00:00 Gary Gunkel Absolutely magnificent. I would whole-heartedly recommend this book to every person on the planet: it's one of those essential books. Not a single complaint with it, save that it ended and neglected his poem comparing men and women. Just great; one of the best collections of poetry I own.
