Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really liked this book. It is the first of a trilogy, and I am eager to read the rest of the story.
In this story, Dr. Ransom is on a “walking tour” of the countryside when he is kidnapped and taken into space to a planet called Malacandra. There he escapes and discovers many things about others, himself, and the parallels and differences between the alien planet and Earth.
Lewis does an amazing job keeping all of the elements of the storyline running smoothly along with his always spectacular descriptions that drop the reader into the story. I had heard about this book several times and am so glad to have it on my Read bookshelf!
