I think that was my favourite (though, it's been a while). <BR/><BR/>You don't have to enjoy hard science to enjoy science fiction! I think that it might enhance your enjoyment of some of it, particularly of classic texts (Asimov, Heinlein, etc.) but largely it's not necessary. If you're interested in reading some not-so-sciency scifi, I'd recommend checking out Elizabeth Moon's Vatta series (starts with <I>Trading in Danger</I>).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-43346507945966697492008-12-07T17:49:00.000-08:002008-12-07T17:49:00.000-08:00Yeah, I didn't love this.

I think this trilogy is way better than Narnia, though that could just be because it's not written for children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-82643954869557233252008-12-07T05:47:00.000-08:002008-12-07T05:47:00.000-08:00I'm not into science at all and I am a HUGE scienc...I'm not into science at all and I am a HUGE science fiction fan.MySharonAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13108439112946490897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-10012929202771466722008-12-07T04:51:00.000-08:002008-12-07T04:51:00.000-08:00I'm not much of a science person either, but I enj...I'm not much of a science person either, but I enjoy a lot of science fiction books. I love Lewis's space trilogy, but this is the weakest in the series, IMHO. When I first read the series, <I>Perelandra</I> was my favorite (and, yes, the symbolism in it is much more blatant). Having read the series at least three times now, I've come around to liking the last book, <I>That Hideous Strength</I>, the most. It's more of a dystopian novel than a science fiction one.<BR/><BR/>(And <I>Til We Have Faces</I> is my favorite Lewis novel. I think it's his most accomplished work.)Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896331683344872038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-35842209977021785252008-12-07T01:42:00.000-08:002008-12-07T01:42:00.000-08:00I tried to read this years ago and just couldn't f...I tried to read this years ago and just couldn't finish it. I got all confused about the different characters and what exactly was going on. I wonder if the story improves in the other two of this series? But I've never found out.<BR/><BR/>And I love his Narnia books!Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-88477563048572225632008-12-06T22:44:00.000-08:002008-12-06T22:44:00.000-08:00Science fiction i dnt know... i can't remember rea...Science fiction i dnt know... i can't remember reading sci-fi.. so i wil have to tell u once i have done it :)<BR/><BR/>Ransom .. lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-88476721523284154522008-12-06T22:30:00.000-08:002008-12-06T22:30:00.000-08:00Believe it or not, I used to know a Ransom.
