Number of Pages: 211

Number of Stars I'm Giving: 5

I really loved this book! I think this may even be my favorite book of the series.

I was beginning to lose hope after "Prince Caspian" & "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader".  This book brought me back to being a Narnia fan.  The story in this book moved fast and was interesting from the first few pages.  The ending is not at all what you would expect, and also unlike all of the other books.  This book really makes you think about life, God, and the afterlife.  I think people that don't believe in God would hate this book.  It takes on the unpopular topic of there only being 1 true God.  

This book brought together the lives of all of the previous heroes and heroins.

The ending should have been heartbreaking, but it was really happy.

I knew I didn't like Susan during the rest of the series and now I know why!

Jill and Eustace had matured and this was the 1st book where the little

Earthlings didn't bother me to a certain extent.

I think this was a book written well ahead of its time.

If you are reading this series and get stuck in the middle on some of the more boring books, don't give up.

Or, at the very least, just skip to the last one.  It's entirely worth your time.

 

FYI: This book was awarded the Carnegie Medal.

Extra FYI: C.S. Lewis was friends with J.R. Tolken.

They were even in a writer's club together - who knew?

I'm sure a lot of people knew that, but I didn't.
