A fun read from an eclectic author. I don't know of any contemporary authors that can write as well, at least in this genre.

I am going to finish this book. I did not enjoy it as much as "Out of the Silent Planet". It is much much more philosophical than the first book, and not a quick read. I find myself PLOWING through the frustrating dialog between the un-man and Ransom. Even the fight scene was excruciating to read. There was one extraordinarily funny philosophical question. In the Garden of Eden; what if an elephant had stepped on the snake before it talked to Eve? Things that make you go Hmmmmmm... But I am almost done. One more to go. :)

A very readable schollarly treatment of how Elizabethan's ordered their world and how understanding that is important to understanding their literature.

If the whole book were the most boring thing I ever read (which it wasn't) the last scene would have made the whole book worth reading ad re-reading.

Pro: Interesting Plot, Bold Dialogue, Dr. Randsom is way cool. Con: Hyper Descriptive, Long ending.

The Space Trilogy is one of my all-time favorite things to read. Every time I read it I find something new and crazy insightful.

Ransom's adventures continue. He is sent by the Eldils to Venus (a.k.a. "Perelandra") for reasons unknown to him. Perelandra is beautiful and unmarred in its Eden-like stage but after Ransom spends some time conversing with this healing planets "Eve" (which he calls the "Green Lady"), Satan (the "Bent One") makes his subtle and deceptive appearance by possessing (and destroying) Weston (Ransom's old colleague) and tempting the "Green Lady" (I'd like to add another parentheses here) to disobey "Maleldil" (God). Ransom then discovers his purpose on this planet. He is to be its Savior and defeat the "Evil One" to prevent a repeat of Earth's fallen humanity.

I loved this book! Under the guise of light, entertaining fantasy reading, is a treasure-house of moral questions to ponder and advice subtly given. Half-way through reading it, I not only wanted to purchase my own copy, but was eager to read it for a second time! :)
