"These books are meant to be Christian literature, but they only resemble Biblical stories in very superficial ways. In order to get from Biblical stories to the Chronicles of Narnia, you have to remove all the horrible details, like God commanding 'every living thing that breathes' to be killed in Jericho, and you have to add a good deal of charisma and nobility. For instance, you wouldn't see Prince Caspian whoring his wife out. That's just not something he would do. However, that is exactly what Abraham did to Sara, when they had to cross Egypt (he knew the pharoah would want his wife, and yet chose to go anyway. Telling Sara to lie about their marital status doesn't make Abraham a hero--it makes him a pimp). If Prince Caspian was given such a choice, he would have fought the pharoah and won, he would have gone through some horrible trials as he went around Egypt, or he wouldn't have gone at all, and the God that had commanded him to go would have learned a lesson.
As books go, they're fast reads and cute, but they don't belong in Christian literature."
"I liked Prince Caspian better than The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe. I know, this is my first time reading any of the Narnia stories, but this one just held my interest a bit more than the other.
In addition to bringing back Peter, Susan, Edmund, & Lucy, we get to meet another race of Men. The Telmarines. The Telmarines have taken over Narnia since the four Pevensie children left Narnia to go back to England (by accident of course, they didn't really want to leave). Caspian is the true Prince of Narnia, though both his parents have died. His uncle, Miraz, has taken the throne and soon, Miraz's wife bears a son and Miraz wants Caspian dead so his own line can inherit the throne to Narnia.
While only a year has passed in our time, hundreds of years have gone by in Narnian time. Several things have changed and Peter, Susan, Edmund, & Lucy are called back to help Caspian overthrow his uncle and take his rightful place as the King of Narnia. Like I said before, I really liked this story and I can't wait to see what will happen next."
"What a fun book! Long ago I had read the first book of the series (The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe), though had never finished it. I saw the movie and didn't care for it much, but a friend told me I "had to read them, or else," and so I did. The story is very basic, and I remembered all the main parts from the movie, but the story is not what makes this book so much fun to read: it's the way Lewis tells the story. CS Lewis' nonfiction books are one of my greatest loves, and I didn't know how I would feel towards his children's literature, but I have absolutely nothing bad to say about his skills as an artist. Even when the story got more into the vein of allegory (such as whenever Aslan was around), I felt the scenes fit in with the world Lewis was aiming to depict. I'm happily now looking forward to the other five books of the series!
One last note: I have heard many people talk about Narnia as "Christian propaganda," but I saw very little "hidden agenda." Yes, Aslan was very much (to me) as I would image Jesus, and the scene where one of the dwarfs complains about him not being around did sound like some of the conversations I've had with those who have arguments against the Christian religion. For me, though, Prince Caspian was like any other book written from the true nature of a person, which I think is one of the fundamental criteria for making a good work of literature. CS Lewis was Christian, but also loved what he believed, and that shows in his work. The same could be said for any author who loves something deeply and is encouraged to write because of it. And anyway, if a reader has a problem with Lewis' Christianity, they could easily focus on another part of the story (such as the intricate descriptions of food!)"
"Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis was another great book. You think books may bore you throughout a point/middle, but all you got in return was more and more foreshadowing on what may happen next.
The same characters were stated in the book: Edmund, Lucy, Susan, and Peter. It all started with a blow of the magic horn that belongs to Susan. Prince Caspian one of the new characters added to the series blew it. The magical horn was a signal/cry for help from Narnia. They have been gone for a long time now and as you know Narnia's time zone is quit advanced towards our own. As in Narnia life lives faster and everything flies by in a flash. Yet again it's up to the royal four children to save Narnia from danger out there. Nothing new right? Yes, at times they believe all hope is gone and nothing can be done. Narnia was being destroyed by the Telmar power that tried to conquer Narnia and everything inside it.
Does Narnia get rescued? That's something you will have to find out on your own. I recommend you to read this book if you enjoyed the previous three books in the series. Narnia fans of course will love the book, as well as C.S. Lewis fans."
