A lot of students are reading this book right now because they're taking a course in fantasy literature. I tell them it makes me sad, because things keep going so wrong for the main characters before they finally begin going right. And I guess I'm just apocalyptic enough in my thinking to wonder if my children and grandchildren are going to have to endure a world getting worse and worse, like Narnia does, before it finally gets better.
Such are the thoughts of a melancholic father, I guess.
