The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

So I am almost all the way done this book and it is phenomenal. After reading the first two, it gives me a new appreciation for understanding the 'magic' that Lewis tries to portray. Lewis captures the mind with this book about a ship that sets sail on a journey to find Aslan's country. The characters develop at a nice pace and I'm happy that Lewis brought in their cousin as a third person. It's hard to like Eustace in the beginning, but as the book goes on you learn to like him and it's nice to have him with the younger two Pevensies. I'm excited to find out how the book ending differs from the movie ending!

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

To continue on with my Narnian adventure, Prince Caspian was the next in this series. As usual, C. S. Lewis has done an excellent job transporting me into the world of Narnia. I felt that this book was very well written and has a wonderful story line. I did not like, however, how the character relationships weren't as developed as they were in the movie. You learn about Caspian as a prince and as a person, but you don't learn about how he and Peter got along. You don't see the relationship between Lucy and Trumpkin that you do in the movie. As always there are the people who like movies better than books, but me personally, I feel that books will typically always trump movies. I personally feel that the movie did exploit the characters better than the book did. Overall I think this book is worth reading!
