Here's a bonus buffer comment because I just realized I'm not sure what it'll take to get the secrets to collapse; I haven't been this early before.

Which do you prefer?

Re: Which do you prefer?

On one hand, I got super bored and never finished Amber Spyglass. On the other, The Last Battle is possibly the most entirely obnoxious thing I've ever been forced to read in my life. So, y'know. I'm a bit split.

I agree with everything you wrote in this comment.

Same. I'm an atheist and couldn't get into the Pullman novels. I grew up on the Narnia books and can still enjoy some of them on some levels, but the preachy allegory kind of put me off even before I became an atheist.

Re: Which do you prefer?

[greghousesgf]

I'm an atheist but I also love fantasy so I consider the Narnia books just as much fantasy classics as LOTR. that being said I hated Last Battle though, for three main reasons:
1. the Susan situation
2. Killing off the Pevensie parents, which seems really unnecessarily cruel, especially since they didn't even know Narnia existed
3. I've said this before here many times but I'd be so pissed if I died and went to heaven and it really turned out to be everyone does nothing but run and eat fruit. That would bore me in ten minutes, never mind eternity!

Re: Which do you prefer?

Overall, I'd agree. Most of the Narnia books develop the fantasy better and the adventures are more engaging.

I like the idea of HDM so much more than the execution, mostly because I find Lyra insufferable. And, for a guy who's so down on Lewis for his over-the-top religious allegories, Pullman's anti-religious allegories are also eye-rollingly over-the-top. YMMV, obvs.

The 80s were a hell of a time.

I wonder what hypocrisy OP was thinking of? For myself, I never liked Gwen, but I didn't watch all that much of Torchwood, so Ianto could have done something really shitty when I wasn't looking *shrug*

Only thing I can think off of the top of my head is hiding his cyber girlfriend in the basement, but on a scale of everyone's fuck ups, that is surprisingly minor.
