Book review: Prince Caspian
Mar. 9th, 2007 08:36 pmToday's book review is Prince Caspian by C. S. Lewis.
This is book 2 (at least by the order I know them in) of The Chronicles of Narnia. I recently reviewed book 1, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
I found this a much weaker book than Lion. Aslan demonstrates that he has divine powers more clearly than he did before, but he capriciously demands that Lucy be able to convince the others that he is there rather than just being visible to them. There is an obvious heavy-handed message about the importance of faith. But I still don't see it as being terribly Christian. (In this volume, for instance, other gods actually appear and do godly stuff in the story.) Still, it's mostly a nice story.
7 out of 10.
