This book was the thrilling and exciting conclusion to the wonderful C. S. Lewis "Narnia" series that everyone knows and loves. I know this line has been used before, and I can't remember by whom or about which book, but I give him/her/the organization credit. But perhaps, perhaps he/she/they didn't...
As a kid, this was my favorite Narnia book. I don't think it's that anymore, especially since the whole "Problem of Susan" has become much more multi-faceted in my mind, but it's still a good story. The tone is darker than the previous books, and I don't enjoy the PLOT is much, but I get what C.S. L...
Very mixed feelings about this one. I was blown away by The Last Battle at age 11 and loved Lewis' depiction of a sort of Neoplatoic Narnia-Heaven. There is a surprising nod to religious pluralism when one of the Tash worshiping Muslim substitutes gets into heaven, but only one gets in. The fate ...
The first 6 books in the series seemed to be focused on the plot, which also included religious metaphors. This last book seemed to break that pattern and made the plot secondary and the religious metaphor first. I think the story suffered quite a bit because of that. At times it felt forced and too...
I love this book for the fact that it makes me feel so homesick for Heaven. The last two chapters moves me every time I read them - especially Aslan's final words to Lucy: "The term is over, the holidays have begun. The dream is ended. This is the morning." It gives me chills just to write them.The ...
When I was in grade school, I read all the Narnia books. I had these books in a little box set that my father got me when I was sick. When the movie of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe came out, I pulled out my set. Every book was worn except The Last Battle, which looked completely new.Overa...
The Last Battle was when the Christian undertones began to dawn on me, but even the religious and racist subtext couldn't ruin this book for me. If I didn't have so many problems with it, this would be my favorite Narnia book--as it is, it remains the one I am troubled by and yet return to, again a...
Finally two characters I know again - Eustace and Jill . The conclusion to this book made me sad. It is all over. I remember thinking, is there any way to write more to this series? Then I found out that he was dead. This was a tough series to get through for me as a kid. The concepts in this ...
This series ended with a train wreck, literally and figuratively. The Christian allegory of the preceding six books was always present, but usually took second place to the fantasy elements. The moral at the end of The Last Battle, however, is everything that makes Lewis's Christianity insufferable.
