biscuitcrux 's review for:
The Last Battle
by C.S. Lewis
Wow, this was really a departure from the rest of the series. No adventure, not much story, just a bunch of heavy-handed religious metaphors. The badness of this story underlines the fact that the "logic" of Christianity just doesn't add up. In the other books, there was at least a story to carry you along and keep you interested.
I can imagine what it would have been like if I'd read this book when I read the first few Narnia books as a kid: "Huh? Whuh? What's happening? Why would they do that? But that doesn't make sense! Why don't they...? Why doesn't he...? But he... But they..." Yeah. It really doesn't fit with the rest of the series, and Magician's Nephew was almost (but not quite) as bad as this, so maybe Lewis was either running out of ideas or losing it in his old age.
