Not an easy read but interesting. Very heavy allegory.

An excellent read! When I read the book I almost felt that the planet Lewis talks about is out there. It seems very real and logical that this planet or some planet with similar characteristics could in fact exist.
Well worth the time to read the book.

I love it. What Lewis did for fantasy in Narnia, he does for sci-fi in Malacandra, the setting of "Out of the Silent Planet." Its truly a sci-fi to enjoy, not to terrify as so many classics do. With a rich environment, you can really explore the wonders of space in a novel very different from others in the genre.
Fantastic ending!!!!!

Intriguing Sci-fi from the author of Narnia, This is a fascinating look at life on Mars through the lens of early 20th century England, and also through the eyes of a Christian apologist. Well Worth the read!

This is different than his Narnia series. It is the first part in a triology. The story is rich in detailed descriptions. The final chapters make the "moral of the story".
