I was seriously shaking with disgust when I finished reading this. The happiest ending possible is for everyone to die and go to heaven? At first I thought that since Susan had stopped believing in Narnia and Aslan, she didn't get to go to "heaven", but ...more...]]> 2 4 false false Wed Feb 13 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 20:32:47 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 09:32:26 -0800 2008

Because they're not that good.

Lewis has an odd style.

It appears that Lewis just gave up on the series, but had to end it somehow. Looks like he decided it was a great chance to get up on his soapbox about human behavior as well.
