I tried several times to get into that book, and never could.

Out of the Silent Planet was a good read, but certainly not Heinlein or Azimov.

The Perelandra was boring, boring, boring. Thankfully it was a short book.

That Hideous Strength was superb. A true classic. But you really needed to read Out of the Silent Planet to understand That Hideous Strength.

See, I liked Out of the Silent Planet and thought Perelandra was okay. (I've also never read Heinlein nor Azimov.) But I never could get more than a chapter or 2 into That Hideous Strength.

To each their own.
