So Prince Caspian was pretty great. I enjoyed Peter and Caspian's "I'm the prettiest!" "No, I am!" pissing matches. Oh boys, don't you know Edmund is the prettiest of you all? That kid is adorable. Also, Susan was quite badass. Up with girls! And Reepicheep! Aw, I loved him when I was a kid, one of my favourite characters in the books. I think I even dressed up as him for Halloween one time. Can't quite remember. It's so nice to see the books I loved as a kid portrayed so well on the big screen (and by "well" I don't mean slavishly beholden to the source material. They're called "film adaptations" for a reason). Next up: Voyage of the Dawn Treader! I'm in line already.

My parents read the Narnia books to me and my brother when I was pretty little, I'm pretty sure it was before I could read. We actually went through the entire series four times. Then they tried to switch us over to new books, like George A. MacDonald's The Princess and The Goblin books. Of course I would have none of that, but then my mom showed me a blurb on the back of the MacDonald book where C.S. Lewis praised the book, and then I was okay with it (well, if C.S. Lewis says it's okay, then it must be). So blurbs actually work on impressionable young children. Alert the publishers!
