Evaluation Containing Books Out of the Silent Planet (The Space Trilogy #1)

A bit heavy on the adjetives, but I enjoyed it!What would it be like to sit in on one of the conversations between C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien? Today they are some of the best loved and well-read authors. In their day they were leading British faculty members at Oxford University. Perhaps one of the most fascinating conversations to hear would be the beginning of C.S. Lewiss Space Trilogy. According to A.N. Wilson, Lewiss biographer, it began when J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis lamented the

WARNING: This review contains some spoilers.How can I review a C.S. Lewis book? I feel completely inadequate. To properly summarize his work, one feels that you would have to be Lewis himself. In the end, I feel that I can do nothing better than to let him speak for himself and to include a few quotations. But then I am left with the impossible task of choosing those quotations, for any writing by Lewis is a series of building blocks, one concept layered upon another. And so, in the end, all my

You don't review C.S. Lewis. He reviews you.

And so begins my 2020 reading challenge of working through all of C.S. Lewis's published works by the end of the year. I've got a long...ways...to go. But I'm excited!I remember reading through most of this book as a little kid. And get this- I didn't finish because some of Lewis's descriptions of alien creatures actually scared me. While they definitely didn't have the same effect this time around, I'm impressed at his depictions of other alien races. He always puts thought into his world

First of all, this book has a cool title. I mean, seriouslyOut of the Silent Planet Say it to yourself a couple times. It sounds pretty, almost spooky, sort of dramatic and enigmatic. Ooh. Man, I love a good title. I also love a good allegory. And its my opinion that C.S. Lewis pretty much wrote the best allegories. Like, for real dude. This is like The Chronicles of Narnia for big people. (Im still partial to the childlikeness of The Chronicles though). So basically, this book is about a man

Good Story 202. Julie and Scott were kidnapped and are now on a spaceship headed for Mars. Julie misses all of humanity. Scott just wants a cheeseburger.============The library had the audio for this and recalling how audio has helped me through other books which left me cold in print (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, for example) ... and also knowing how many people have urged me to read this trilogy ... I am attempting it for the third time.All this is to say that I am 36 minutes in and for

I read this first about 7 or 8 years ago, but found it difficult to get through. This time it was over too soon-I felt like I was on Malacandra myself and feel like I experienced everything that went on as much as Ransom, the main character in the book. Lewis explores philosophical questions that if not discussed in the context of another species' existence would strike me as really basic; by discussing these questions in the setting of another world, he refreshes them and has insights that we
