17. He was a close friend of Tolkien--both taught at Oxford--

and Tolkien was highly critical of Lewis' use of Christian allegory in his writings. Tolkien thought that Lewis' use of Christianity was too obvious and over the top. They would often critique each other's work, but I don't remember what Lewis thought of Tolkien's fiction.
