The Great Divorce is by C.S. Lewis. The classic allegorical fantasy by the creator of Narnia. The story begins with the narrator joining a queue for a bus. Once the bus arrives at its destination, the narrator, through a series of meetings discovers he was on a bus from Hell to Purgatory. The riders were destined to meet beings who attempt to lead them on to the mountains (Heaven). The bus riders and those they meet are clever allegories for many types of humans and the sins which keep them from God. It is a wonderfully convicting and important book that needs to be read by all believers.
Ratings: 9th grade - 10 out of 10.
