Thanks to Lewis, I now have a deep appreciation for the majesty of the nighttime sky.Ĭ.S. I sat in my car, driving through Ohio in the middle of the night, with tears streaming down my face as I realized how amazing our Creator is and how crazy I have been to take His artwork for granted all this time. Just go look up Hrossa, Séroni, and Pfifltriggi on Google images to see how cool they are! But, as I have always been terrified by the idea of outer space (aliens are cool, but floating in an airless, endless void is a solid no for me), Lewis achieved the impossible, moving me to tears when he described the heavens from Ransom’s point of view. The detailed (but not tedious) descriptions of Malacandra (which is actually Mars, by the way) and its inhabitants were striking and creative.
In typical Lewis fashion, he knocked it out of the park for me. I’m so glad I did because I had forgotten about the amazing world C.S. I had actually already read this fantastic story on my own 8 years ago, but I never finished the series, so I decided to pick it back up with an audiobook to help me get back on track. Have you ever desperately needed to stay awake while driving, after being on the road for over 20 hours? I have, and listening to this audiobook helped me get through several more hours of twilight drive time because of its creativity and intrigue! Journeying with Ransom and company through the galaxy to a far-off planet was, admittedly, one of the cooler ways I’ve found for fighting off highway hypnosis.
