4.5 stars. More entertaining than the cover emits, I greatly appreciated Lewis' creativity and theological interpretations and look forward to the next adventure.

This book is a short and very entertaining read, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes science fiction. With his space trilogy, C.S. Lewis showed that he could write more than the Narnian fantasy he was known for.

Still haunting. And still too smart for me in places.

Published in 1938 so very male, heavy on the Euro-centrism.
