[goodreads]

Title: Prince Caspian Author: C.S. Lewis Genre: Fantasy, YA Rating: 9/10 # pages: 208 Date read: July 2008, September 2018

Summary: A prince fights for his crown. Narnia... where animals talk... where trees walk... here a battle is about to begin. A prince denied his rightful throne gathers an army in a desperate attempt to rid his land of a false king. But in the end, it is a battle of honor between two men alone that will decide the fate of an entire world.

Review: After watching the movie, I wanted to reread the book, to see how much the adaption actually deviated from the book, and was left with the very unsettling sensation that the book for once wasn't as good as I remembered it. I found myself skimming a lot near the end, with the feeling that I was more 'comparing notes' than reading the book for its own sake. So now I know for another time that reading the book the very day after having watched the movie based on it, is not my best idea ever ;)

I haven't read the Narnia books since I was little (age 11 or 12 at the latest, perhaps? 12-13 years ago), but I often wonder how my thoughts would compare now, having seen the first movie, which I thought (from my faint memories) was rather well done. I have yet to see "Prince Caspian" the movie, but I'm looking forward to it! :)
