Book #3 - The Last Battle
Mar. 6th, 2009 01:32 pmCatching up!
Wow, Narnia is done. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. I mean, it's pretty much the same number of pages as the others, but it felt like it went faster. I think it only took me two days to read this one.
Not my favorite of the series, but still enjoyable. Actually, it's kind of hard to pin down exactly what I liked. I snerked at the instigator of all the trouble being an ape (jab at Darwinism?), and was of course heartbroken and frustrated when all the Narnian animals let him talk them into believing him (also possibly a comment on organized religion and how easily people allow themselves to just be swept along). I'm sure there's _lots_ of religious symbology and allusion, but I'm a little brain-drained because Morgan was sick last night. I look forward to her being old enough to read the Narnia books together with me and/or Alan.
