This is BOOK FOUR, not BOOK FIVE: DON'T BE DECEIVED, 26. Oktober 1998
Von Ein Kunde
Beware! The evil, foul-minded people who are publishing these works (The Chronicles of Narnia) have profaned the fantastic writing of C.S. Lewis by rearranging the order of the seven books so as to confuse the reader and steal away some of the magic and wonder by imposing it in a chronological order rather than the artistic one in which it was rendered. Is the horrible time witch at play again or it could be that rascal Screwtape at work? I shake my head sadly at the poor folk who will read these books in the wrong order, actually thinking that perhaps the author meant for them to read Volume Six first. Yes, of course these books come highly recommended but I think it is most important to stress that they should be read in the proper order, which is as follows: 1. The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe 2. Prince Caspian 3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 4. The Silver Chair 5. The Horse and His Boy 6. The Magician's Nephew 7. The Last Battle Please, do yourself a favor, if you are reading these books for the first time, read them in the right order.

The Least Provocative, 3. Juli 2000
As a fan of the Chronicles of Narnia, I was (just a bit) disappointed to find this book, in which Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole go on a quest through Narnia to find Prince Rillian (Prince Caspian's son) the most formulaic. Pole and Scrubb are nipped from their alternative school (which Lewis doesn't let go by without a good ribbing) by Aslan, who sends them forth on a mission to find the prince. It has the usual quest form of the Narnian chronicles, two children from our world, helping the Narnians with an important mission, Aslan's vital intervention and a nod to a deadly sin, this one is Sloth. I thought the most compelling part of the book was the beginning when Jill meets Aslan in his land beyond the sea. Having read of this region of the Narnian world in Voyage of the Dawn Treader, it was rewarding to get a further view of it. I eagerly read this book to the end, but I didn't find myself provoked by it as I had been the other Narnian chronicles. Don't skip it if you want to read them all, choose The Horse and His Boy and The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe if you're only going to read a few.

The Narnia series starts to show its age with this one, 25. November 2007
By this stage of the game, the Narnia series is starting to feel like old hat. Gone is the magic of Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. Now we have Fantasy Novel Formula 101. Lewis has basically taken the ingredients of previous stories and turned it into a new story. The only real interesting thing to this one is the new character, Jill Pole. It's a bit like JK Rowling doing 7 Harry Potter books - by book 7, you're begging Rowling to retire Harry. With this book, I was wishing Lewis would finally retire Aslan.
King Caspian is dying but the added complication is that there is no heir to succeed him. His son disappeared 10 years earlier and anyone who has ever tried to find him has also disappeared. Many believe he is dead but Aslan the Lion is determined to find him and secure his accession to the Narnia throne before someone less desirable claims it instead. So he pulls Eustace and his friend Jill Pole out of a crappy England school and sends them on a quest to find Prince Rilian, future King of Narnia.
The story in itself is fair enough but it really dragged in places, especially towards the end when it started to take on a Lord of the Rings type of atmosphere. Plus the ending was rather predictable. The last few books have taken on a set formula, to the point where you're just not surprised anymore with what happens.
But nevertheless, I will read the last book in the series for the sake of completeness.
