I don’t know if I can pick a favorite. I love the part in Caspian when Lucy is the first to see Aslan again, and remarks at how much bigger he is. And he says something like, “It is not me that has grown, but you. The older you get, the bigger I will seem.” I hope the new movie uses the dialogue from the book.
Dawn Treader is probably my favorite, but I also love The Horse and His Boy. Magician’s Nephew would be my least favorite, if I had to pick one, but I woudn’t say I dislike it.
I did a count of where things stand so far. The posts kind of defy counting, and of course I don’t capture second (and below) favorites. Anyway:
LWW 1
PC 2
DT 5
H&HB 8
SC 3
MN 6
LB 2
I guess I’m a surprised, in this highly reliable statistical sample, that LWW is making such a poor showing. Other than that, seems pretty reasonable.
Dawn Treader, definitely. Also, put me down as liking LWW the least. I just don’t think it’s very good, especially held up against some of the others.
I also liked Last Battle.
Yes, I’m pleasantly surprised to find that not everyone despises LB!
I remember the last book for its call of Upward and inward! Or something along those lines.
“Further up and further in!”
