The last few will probably be directed at teenagers, since the readers (and the characters) are growing up. However, I believe the Chronicles of Narnia were written as Christian allegory.  I think it's an official word now, too.  In the Oxford Dictionary of the English Language. It's not the reading level or anything like what you mentioned that bothers me. It's the marketing. They've made it almost as marketed as Star Wars. Coming from a movie I would expect, but not from a book. However, since it became so popular, I see why. Where is it originally from? BTW, I don't remember the exact quote, but Roger Meyers Jr. on the Simpsons (creator of Itchy and Scratchy) said the same thing in the episode where he was being sued by that guy who said that he invented I&S. The speech where he included Chief Wiggum as an example.Hey, that was a quote used on my English Exam a few weeks ago! Unless the person really is an idiot.I think it's the fact that people would rather sit and watch the movie than read the book. I, myself, would recommend reading the book (novelizations of movies, too, since they pick up on things that the movie missed due to editing. SPOILER?For example: In Star Trek: Nemesis, they missed the scene where they more or less explain Wesley Crusher being back during the wedding and tell you that his rank in Starfleet is now Lieutenant. Another missed scene is with Picard's new Number One at the end.)Are we to either assume that he convinced you, or is it because your name is actually Ashley?</blockquote>
