lvbopeep 's review for:

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
5.0

I grew up in a evangelical household, so the symbolism of TLW&W was not lost on me. Actually, I remember thinking church would be more interesting if they threw some lions, fauns, wardrobes, etc into the theology. The first and last books were probably my least favorite- but only in comparison to the rest. The best parts:

- Eustace and the Dragon

- REEPICHEEP!

- Everything about The Horse and His Boy- especially "riding
lessons" and the Sultan's Palace.

- Diggory's uncle and the future White Witch in London.

- Jill "making love" to the giants. And stoned Marshwiggles.

And in defense of the whole "Susan" thing- it wasn't just because she discovered her sexuality or whatever- it was because she no longer believed in Narnia despite having experienced it first hand. She also didn't die in the train accident, so she would have her chance to come to Narnia (or wherever).
