I am not much of a science fiction person, so I did not think I would like this book. But C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite writers, so I gave it a go. And I'm glad I did. As in <i>The Chronicles of Narnia</i>, Lewis creates a very convincing world and characters--one I could lose myself in. Setting the story in another planet with different life forms and different ways of life offers plenty of opportunity to examine ideas and attitudes that are taken for granted today, but that are actually disordered and unnatural.
Already looking forward to <i>Perelandra</i>, the next in the series.
