That Hideous Strength

This final installment of C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy is so different that it really just barely is connected to the other two books, until the last quarter of the book.

This is a fantastic book, though it was hard to get into.
I didn't like the characters for the first 2/3 of the book.
For the first 1/3 of the book, it was difficult to tell who were the “good guys” and who were the bad. Maybe all the way to the first 1/2, honest.y

But by the end of the book, you see that this is a social commentary that even in the 1940's or 1950's called out the progressive institution and their war against the values that Christianity holds dear. Honestly, that part of the book is shocking. How clear it is today what has been going on for the past century in the real world. Yet most people either don't see it, or are willingly on the side of the institutions. The Culture War that is so prominent in literally every facet of modern life was pointed out here. Clearly.

If you are a Christian, read this book
If you are in any way a moderate or conservative, read this book.
(It may be helpful to read the previous 2 volumes, but not entirely necessary until the last 1/3 of the book)
