The Last Battle
by C.S. Lewis
When I was in grade school, I read all the Narnia books. I had these books in a little box set that my father got me when I was sick. When the movie of [b:The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe|100915|The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (The Chronicles of Narnia, Book 2)|C.S. Lewis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171472410s/100915.jpg|4790821] came out, I pulled out my set. Every book was worn except The Last Battle, which looked completely new.
Overall, the book isn't too bad. It's a nice reassuring book about death, I suppose. If, however, you are thinking about giving this to an older daughter, don't. I hated the fact that Susan didn't get to go because she had discovered that she liked boys. Part of my dislike came from the fact that I was the oldest, and the only girl; part came from the fact that Susan had the bow; therefore, she was cool. (I watched Robin Hood with Errol Flynn at a far too young age. If dwarves used bows, they would be my favorite species. As it is, elves only win because they have bows). It's sad because as I get older, this last book became part of the reason why I grew away from the series.
