I would highly recommend this book if you like the writings of C.S. Lewis. It bring new insight into them and will allow you a window into the heart of the man who wrote so many wonderful books.
For the others of you who do not know about Lewis’ space trilogy, they are Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra and That Hideous Strength.

The end result of umpty-nine posts about the same book (for me, anyway) is that I wouldn't be caught dead reading it! (It's the same reason I eschew Oprah Club books.)
It would be different if BlogCritics were some sort of online reader's club, where we were all be reading and discussing the same book, but it's not.

I understand the satiation and ennui DrPat, but we can't blame the individual reviews: that would be interpolating blame to the individual for what is a group issue

No, that's true, Eric - but the end result comes not from multiple reviews, but from their being posted one after the other. I am reminded of persistent carnival barkers yelling, "Roll up! Roll up!"
It's just my own personal reaction - as another BlogCritic constantly reminds us, "your mileage may vary."
