From AudioFile

This is the first of Lewis's Space Trilogy. The others are PERELANDRA and THAT HIDEOUS STRENGTH. Geoffrey Howard, who also reads Lewis's better known work, MERE CHRISTIANITY, offers an Oxbridge accent, which would have been the accent of Lewis, a professor at both of those universities. Howard's tenor voice never stumbles with Lewis's formal syntax or the invented alien language of the inhabitants of Malacandra (Mars). The story, which is influenced by the fiction of H.G. Wells, has deeper meaning but is also compelling on its own. M.L.C. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --Ce texte provient de la Audio CD édition.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Good underlying themes on life, bad storyline, Nov. 24 2001
Par Ben (Opelousas, LA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I admire C.S. Lewis for his writings on Christianity, but anyone trying to writing Christian sci-fi novels is stretching the line of interest (or at least mine). The plotline is horrible. Thank goodness this was a short book. I would have quit at about Chapter 7 if I wouldn't have had tests on it. No offense Clive but this is definitely not your best work. I am also not enthralled that I will have to read the other 2 books of the trilogy. If you're looking for a good one of Lewis' works, read "Screwtape Letters" or "Mere Christianity."

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent Book, Sep 11 2006
Par Steven R. McEvoy "MCWPP" (Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Out Of The Silent Planet (Paperback)
This is the first book in C.S. Lewis's amazing Space Trilogy. These books are far less known than Lewis's Narnia series or even his Mere Christianity or The Screwtape Letters, yet it is just as good as any of those writings and goes to show the versatility of Lewis as an author.

This first book begins with our hero, Dr. Ransom, out for a walking tour in the countryside, dressed in that shabby way for which professors are renowned. His foes are his former schoolmates Devine and Weston. These men believe they need a human sacrifice, and by capturing Ransom they have their victim, for they have made a spaceship and are taking Ransom to Malacandra the red planet.

Once on Mars, Ransom escapes his captors, meets many species, and finds out that on Mars there has been no "fall" and Ransom from Earth or the Silent Planet is a bit of an oddity. People from earth are considered to be "bent" in nature, from the original sin of the fall.

Follow Ransom as he treks across a strange world, and must find the courage to risk it all to save not only an alien race, but also, possibly his own soul.

This is a first book in an amazing series. Try it - you won't be disappointed.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Amazing Novel, Aoû 9 2006
This review is from: Out Of The Silent Planet (Paperback)
This novel was absolutely wonderful. I was a bit apprehensive upon picking up this book, as Science-Fiction has never really been my genre, but CS Lewis' writing style never disappoints. This man could write about a grain of dirt and it would still be an excellent read. If you enjoy space travel and such, read it. If not, read it anyways. It is far more than just an enrapturing and exciting read, though it is this too, but it also offers much insight into our world, society, and generally how we live in. Though written many years ago, it still provides information and a shrewd understanding of Human nature that still applies today. A definitive must-read.
