My son loves reading these books together. I find them fascinating to reread from the perspective of more deeply understanding Christianity than I did when I was a kid, and also from the perspective of the hero's journey.
This book definitely feels the most latently Christian to me, with lots of similar feeling to the “footprints” poem so often on the walls of Christian homes. That said, it also felt the most typical in terms of a heroic plot.
This is not my favorite of the Chronicles of Narnia books. Interestingly, I think it is better developed than the previous ones I've read, but I don't really find Shasta to be a compelling character.
