CS Lewis really should've wrote move children books because this was probably his best seller ever! This was a book i passed around the family after i read it. A great series of books.
My favorite of the Chronicles. An "Odyssee" for kids, but one that is more quest than wandering. The transformation of Eustace is utterly believable, the descriptions vivid and memorable, and Lewis' love of the sea and sailing evident everywhere.
This novel overshadows the rest of the Narnia series. The characters test your emotions and response to sacrifice and submission. Lewis does it again and again.
