Prince Caspian - Week 2

April 7th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

I hope you are enjoying the story as we head into week 2 of Prince Caspian here at the Christian Book Club Online. This week we are reading and discussing chapters 4 through 8. I love the way that Lewis weaves the story. I enjoy how he uses Trumpkin to get some information and back story in to our minds. He writes with such detail that I feel like I am caught up in the story myself. By the end of chapter 8 you will have most of the story set up and from there it really takes off. I don’t want to give anything away but as you start next week’s reading look for Aslan. Let me know how you are feeling about Prince Caspian. I look forward to your comments. I am also very excited about the release of the movie next month.

    I read chapters 4-8 (and I’ve cheated and read some of next weeks chapters as well). I really like how CS Lewis uses Trumpkin to catch the main characters (and the readers) up on the story. I think it was a really creative way to give a bit of history behind the story.

    And I liked how the kids just had to show Trumpkin that they weren’t JUST kids, and each of them had to best him at SOMETHING.

    Very good read!!

    I liked the way that Susan demonstrated concern for Trumpkin’s feelings during their archery contest. Even though she knew she could easily beat him she didn’t want to show him up ti badly. I don’t think there is a whole lot of empathy for people’s feeling anymore.

    That’s been the only part of the story so far where I actually liked Susan as a character.

    Is it just me, or is she really nagging and annoying?

    She can be but she has her redeemable moments. Just ahead in the story she talks about why she was annoyed about Lucy seeing Aslan. Susan wanted to believe her, and she said deep down she really did, but she just couldn’t bring herself to give in to it. I think it is a situation a lot of people have about coming to Jesus. Deep down they get it, but pride or fear or independence keeps them from following.
