Just finished this book for the second time. The first time I read it, it immediately became my favorite fictional book. This last time my admiration for it increased exponentially. Read this book! (but first read Out of the Silent Planet).

Second in the space Triology by C.S. Lewis. Don't want to give spoilers. Lewis is a favorite. Well written sci-fi. Deep and layered in themes. Exciting and strange plot.

As with all CS Lewis books the imagery was beautiful, he really makes you feel like you’re in another world. I loved the story but I got tired of the religious parallels, just not for me

Lewis is a genius! He has a way of making you feel comforted even with the unknown.
