Reading Prince Caspian

I'm on page 82 of 240 of Prince Caspian, so roughly 30% in.

Other than the background bits on the Pevensies, which are recaps from The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe, I don't remember a single thing so far from this book.  I must have read it as a child, but you wouldn't know.  Still, I'm enjoying it; that's the main thing.

That was my experience too. I know I read it because it was Drawn Treader I gave up on in the middle.(Curse you Eustace) I found the book mark still in place all those years later. If I'd known he wasn't in the next book I might have stuck it out.

Eustace?  In the chronological order, the next book after Dawn Treader is Silver Chair; I think Eustace has a starring role in that.  The de-dragoned version of him, natch.

Oh wait - THAT was the book I gave up on. The one that was all Eustace and a classmate and no Pevensies at all.

ETA: As you can see the titles mean nothing to me. The books are all "the one where...." ;D

Yeah, sounds like the same one.  I prefer the Pevensie books, too.

It's a shame the books don't fit a Harry Potter and the — format, although if they did some idiot would come by and say it was a Potter rip-off.

(That reminds me: must find, and finish, Prince Caspian – I'm in the mood for a new film ...)
