Review: 3/5
More interesting than Prince Caspian, but what story still suffers from C.S. Lewis’ writing. Like Prince Caspian the plot is very straightforward and unsurprising. All of the characters are completely flat, although Reepicheep is amusing. Eustace is the only character that changes at all, and he only in a very predictable manner.

Review: 2/5
The story was decent enough, but it was over almost as soon as it began. The characters weren’t fleshed out at all, we are told what happens more than we are shown, dialog is extremely matter-of-fact, and the Aslan as Christ allegory is more than a little heavy-handed. I never realized just how good Harry Potter was to the world of children’s literature.
