 Kind of sad, and a bit obvious in places, but overall I enjoyed reading it. I don't necessarily agree with some of the things Lewis was suggesting, but the book was well done.

 I had fond memories of the Narnia books from my childhood, and so it seemed only natural to pick the series for bed time reading with my eight year old daughter. And indeed the first six books of the series have generally held up pretty well (with The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair being the strongest entries, or so I felt this time around).

This last book, though, left me very disappointed. The Christian symbolism is clumsy and blatant, and it's a dark, dreary, colonialism-tinged brand of Christianity lacking humor and love. When all was said and done, I couldn't find a single thing about this book to like.

 I'm not a huge fan of Narnia, but I enjoy the richness of the world in the first few books. This, however, is the limp ending to the Chronicles of Nania. In this book Lewis brings out all his weaknesses and leaves out his strengths. The charming characters and whimsy are abandoned for a heavy handed religious parable. This book actually manages to make the rest of the series less appealing through its association with them.

 Hey, you've gotta love the grand finale to the Narnia series, highly recommended (after you've read the other 6, of course).

 Best of the series... and that says a lot! This book ties together the loose strings from the other novels in the series.
