My cousin and my uncle came over on Saturday. I took my cousin out to see The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian because we were bored and she thought Ben Barnes was cute and PC was the last of the CoN books that I'd read ( Read more... )

ITA about VDT. I've heard some people say it was their favorite book, but I was like "Why the hell should I care about Eustace and Jill? Where the hell are Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy?"

Yeah, this just summed up my reaction perfectly. Eustace and Jill could've been killed two pages in for all I cared, I wanted the Pevensies - all of them - back.

Oh, yeah. I will never stop feeling bad for Susan's fate, and probably will remain at odds with C. S. Lewis' decision for the rest of my life.

I did enjoy the Susan/Caspian, and not because Ben Barnes is hot. Well, not just because, lol. I think I read somewhere that the producer or whatever added the attraction in because he wanted it to add to Susan choosing to turn away from Narnia. And I love that, because of course it would. I mean, the next adventure has Lucy and Edmund going on an adventure with a suddenly twenty-something King Caspian who finds himself a bride on said adventures. Meanwhile, for Susan it's only been a little while since she last saw young, Prince Caspian - and now he's married and several years older. I'd be bitter, too.
