Perelandra

While this book was enjoyable, in particular in it's vivid descriptions of the planet Perelandra, and in the use of clever/entertaining metaphors as different kinds of life try to understand one another, I liked it significantly less than the first book in the series. It is far more directly allegorical, and while this did not turn me off of it (a lot of the theological discussions were very interesting), it made the plot feel quite predictable. Only in the final ending scene does the writing/plot get a bit lost in wordy theological discussion. An enjoyable read, but less exciting than the first book in the series (Out of the Silent Planet), which I would definitely recommend.
