After two tries at reading them, I regretfully have only read the first three or four of them. It's sort of ironic, when I've read so many of Lewis's other books, that I'm struggling with one of his most popular.

Back to my last post, I find it interesting that orcs cannot rise, but all others can fall so easily. It's almost an imperfection in the workings of the world itself. From their dialouge, we can tell that they are more than drones, but from their irresistable corruption, they have also set themselves as less than human(-oid).
