Negative Positive
Title: Struggled to get through it!
Review: I'm not an avid Sci-Fi reader but came with high expectations, CS Lewis being the writer of the Narnia series, which I read as a child, many, many years ago.I didn't enjoy this novel, with the exception, of Lewis' wonderful descriptive language. In particular, the way he describes the beauty of Malacandra is breathtaking.I thought I was reading something akin to the Planet of the Apes, but without the sense of foreboding that one feels when you watched the TV series version of the aforementioned. I was so tempted to put the novel down, but have a personal policy not to do that, and figured as it was only 150+ pages I'd grin and bear it.Yes, there is a message there about good vs evil and God, but I don't think it was that inspiring or significant.I'm sure my conclusions are heavily influenced by the fact that I don't typically read such novels. I won't be reading the 2 sequels.
Is the review positive or negative?
