I LOVED Perelandra, and thought very well of Out of the Silent Planet. That Hideous Strength had some strong material, but overall was weak, IMO, compared to most of C.S. Lewis' work. But That Hideous Strength was actually the most relevant to today's world.

My two cents,

I thought the satire of so called "science" as portrayed in the book was so spot on...beware the "macrobes"!

We know that Jesus sent such "macrobes" in to the swine who in turn had enough self respect to throw themselves into the sea!
