Book 22: Out of the Silent Planet, CS Lewis. 160pp

On recommendation from [livejournal.com profile] nuranar, I scrounged around for the Space Trilogy and found it a couple months back or so.

On a writing style level, I think it could have been a bit better. Looking purely at the story itself, though, I thought it was excellent, and presented a myriad of very, very deep and profound themes that are worth reflecting on. I have no doubt I'll read it again. The first time I read a book I consume it; the second time, already knowing the story, I can begin to actually absorb it. I'm looking forward to the next two books.

And because this is a bit overdue, The Great Controversy: Chapter 5 )
