Silence is not always golden.

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2004
The Bottom Line: The bottom line should be silenced permanently.
Review: Are we alone in the universe? Is there a spiritual realm that eye cannot see nor ear cannot hear? Some believe they know the answer to one or both of these questions. For others, those questions are foolish to even ask. The science fiction trilogy...

Out of the Silent Planet -- A Lesson in Morality?

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2000
Review: The author C. S. Lewis is arguably one of the more fascinating writers of the 20th century. He has lead an interesting life, starting out as an atheist until 1929 when he accepted the idea of the existence of a Supreme Being and in 1931 when he...

Are Martians Christians?

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2002
The Bottom Line: C.S. Lewis is a master of allegory--here he turns his considerable talent loose on Mars.
Review: For my entire adult religious life, I've been confronted by well-meaning (I assume) people who want to tell me that I'm not Christian. I'm not Christian, I'm going to burn forever, yada yada yada, because I'm a Mormon, or more officially, a member...

It ain't Narnia, but it's still good

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: I wish I could really rate this at 3 1/2 stars. Better than average, but not as good as some other works.
Review: For about 13-15 years now I have loved C.S. Lewis's writing. I have read his Chronicles of Narnia at least 5 times, and I recently started to "broaden my repertoire" if you will. Once while browsin' for some old Disney or Muppet stuff in an antique...

An utterly fascinating, nearly timeless novel

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2000
Review: When I first attempted to read C.S. Lewis' science fiction novel Out of the Silent Planet, I put it down after reading only a chapter or two. I was put off by the pure British-ness of the language, the relative slowness of the plot, even the use of...

Out Of The Silent Planet, On Towards Good Reading

Date of Review:  May 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: A must have for any fan of C.S. Lewis, and an excellent science fiction novel with deeper meanings.
Review: Where does one start with C.S Lewis, arguably one of Christiandom's most famous and prolific authors? From The Chronicles Of Narnia to Mere Christianity, Lewis has been one of the most influential writers of the past century, but some of his great...

Date of Review:  Aug 5, 2000
Review: A University professor on holiday (a walkabout, you might call it) is kidnapped by two men, and regains consciousness to find himself in a strange craft, with an otherworldly light all around him. Upon further investigation, he finds himself in a...

The Discarded Image and Wishful Thinking

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2003
The Bottom Line: Read it, remembering that the world is as it is and not as we would wish it to be.
Review: Certain middle-aged men have a middle-aged smell: tobacco from chain-smoking cigarettes when not smoking a pipe, and stale beer from the two or three pints guzzled down at lunchtime in the company of other middle-aged men, smoking cigarettes and...

Narnia for Adults?

Date of Review:  May 19, 2009
The Bottom Line: Original sin and spiritual naivety abound. It's written well enough that anyone can enjoy the book on its own merits, whether looking for these underlying themes or not.
Review: CS Lewis was a tremendously diverse and engaging writer. Apart from being the most celebrated modern apologist for the Christian Faith, Lewis brought to the table a very sophisticated appreciation and understanding of great literature.

The Old Testament, by C.S. Lewis

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2000
Review: Lewis once again uses his superb writing skills to tell a Christian story, give a lesson in morality, whatever you want to call it, by transporting us to a fantastical world. Only, this time, it's not by way of wardrobe, there are no children and no...
