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.
