only really got interesting at the end of chapter 10 i did not care one bit about their journey
There is very little I can say about the Chronicles of Narnia that people do not already know. At first glance it appears to be a story about a group of children that find their way to a magical world and they adventures that they go on while there. However that isn’t really what this story is about; like so many of Lewis’ works of fiction it is really about the story of sin, evil, a savior, and redemption. Each character in the story is a representation for someone else or some other trait in the larger story of humanity and creation. While the story is certainly written for a younger audience the writing is still of an exceptional quality. While I wouldn’t recommend these to just anyone, given their setting and more whimsical nature, I would recommend them to any children and anyone that enjoys more “lighthearted” fiction.
i had a real hard time getting through this one. but that plot twist at the end was masterful! it was so great! i predicted it, but he carried it out better than i could have.
puddleglum annoyed me at first, but then as i got to know his character and understood that he was supposed to be sort of ironic, i came to like him.
jill was just obnoxious start to finish. i hated her character.
eustace was awesome! per usual. hes so funny. i love the way he talks.
thats one thing about cs lewis is that he has very strong characters. even the narnians as a people talk differently than the calormen or any other group of people.
the snowball dance thing was epic. i really really wanted to be there becuase it just sounded so awesome. and the feast afterwards just made my mouth water becuase it sounded so good..
favorite line: "Murder! Fascists! Lions! It isn't fair!" bahahah

Jill is annoying.
Events are dull until about chapter 10.
The best bit is the last few pages -Aslan and Aslan's country and Caspian .
Will only read this again because of the connection to the rest of the series and my inability to read 6/7 books!

The 6th book in the Chronicles of Narnia was quite an enjoyable one! I particularly liked exploring the Underworld and getting to know the Wigglemarshes! As with the other books in the series, it did feel like a truly Christian fable which isn't really my thing. It could also be slow at times, but this was balanced by such joy and wonderous description at others!

Weakest one. Boring most of the way through. Had a few charming parts, but everything else is just bland
