Ransom's Escape from Malacandra
I enjoy the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis and they are my favorite books. However, I dislike Out of the Silent Planet, because it is slow and boring. It is about Dr. Ransom escaping a planet, Malacandra, after Devine, his former classmate, and Weston capture him and bring him to Malacandra with them. I am surprised to realize the corruption of the human race. Devine and Weston wants to conquer Malacandra for the people of Earth to live in. Also, I am surprised how Ransom is an extremely courageous man and manages to escape Malacandra and his capturers Devine and Weston.
Ransom is on a trip where he goes around England and lives at inns or with strangers along the way. Ransom sees a house, and Ransom finds Devine and Weston at the house after he sneaks in.
