Sums up Lewis pretty well. The people who prop him up as some genius are generally christians who just love hearing apologetic rhetoric.His false trichotomy Liar Lunatic or Lord is dishonest enough on its face to reject him outright. The fact that he can argue with a straight face that the ONLY possibilities when it comes to the divinity of Christ is that he was either a liar, a lunatic or a lord, while purposefully ignoring that he could also be a legend is so fucking stupid. Also, on a personal note, I can't stand his fantasy novels.
And yeah, the space trilogy was fucking awful. Narnia is classic because it functions well for younger readers who don't see the undertones. He specifically wrote space for a more mature readership and it falls flat on its face with the agenda so thinly veiled by a weak superficial sci fi yarn.
