Nita Tarr asked this question about That Hideous Strength (The Space Trilogy, #3):
I'm forever enthralled by CSL's wisdom and insight, but I was taken aback by 'That Hideous Strength' - it was so much less cohesive and readable than the first two books. Is anyone else surprised to see that all the books in the Space Trilogy have equally high ratings?

I think it's the most memorable and thoughtful of the trilogy, but the least well-written. Mark's side of the story is a sublimely written Kafkaesque nightmare that just feels awkward alongside Jane's fairytale journey. I rate it equally high as Perelandra as both are interesting but flawed in different ways. (less)
