kbeliciaz 's review for:
The Last Battle
by C.S. Lewis
My least favorite BY FAR. I like the feeling of the ending - it's how I imagine heaven really will feel. But I really dislike the rest of it. It feels forced and more racist and sexist than the other books. I can sort of try to overlook it in the other ones, because it was a product of its time, but it's just so blatant in this.
I see a lot of reviews really hating on the series for pushing a fundamentalist agenda, and I can understand the frustration. But I also think C.S. Lewis just really loved Christianity and wanted to write a story hinting at that. I don't think he was thinking to himself "this is going to convert all the kids" but idk, what do I know... Maybe he was? It felt more overt in this book which is why I liked it less.
