I watched the movies and I actually remembered enjoying the first one (and hating the 2nd one) so I decided that I would actually sit down and read the book.  The book was okay in the first half, but then in the second half Lewis's sexism and his heavy-handed religious metaphors really showed their behind. I also hate that Edmund really didn't get any crap from his family for betraying them.  I heard that this series gets worse so I will not be reading further.

An entertaining read overall, a bit slower paced than expected. There are some parts that are problematic, but they can be equated with period-typical sexism and the need for YA books to have teenagers fight other people's wars.

Even tho I love reading all this new ya books and they are fun and all but sometimes I miss to read some classic children books that makes you feel like a child again. And this book is perfect example of that. It just brings back memories when my dad would read or tell us stories before going to bed.

I adore these characters, but being more familiar with the films, I was expecting action, nuance, and detail that was done so well on screen. Still a fun, quick read that’s very well written.
