It feels odd to mark this book as anything less than five stars. It was a huge part of my childhood.What's more, this book is part of the reason I'm a decent public speaker these days. I joined forensics because this was the book that was being used for extemporaneous reading. (I didn't even know what forensics was when I started, just that I liked the book.)And there are things I like here. Good things. It's a fun adventure story. There are cool settings. Action. Tension. The different nature o...

There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it. My absolute favorite quote in the entire book.In the latest installment, Lucy, Edmund and their cousin (Eustace) were having a bit of a tiff when they were suddenly pulled into a ship painting. (Apparently, you can get to Narnia just about any which way.)They land on Prince King Caspian's ship, where we meet almost an entirely new cast of characters setting sail to find the seven lost lords of Narnia. “Do you mean t

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Chronicles of Narnia, #3), C.S. Lewis The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a high fantasy novel for children by C. S. Lewis, published by Geoffrey Bles in 1952. The Voyage features a second return to the Narnia world, about three years later in Narnia and one year later in England, by Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, the younger two of the four English children featured in the first two books. Prince Caspian is now King Caspian X. He leads a sea voyage to the eastern end of...

One of my fave Narnia books when I was a child, the crew of the Dawn Treader are joined by Ed, Lucy and Eustace as they seek out the Seven expelled Lords who sailed East seven years earlier. Eustace is a great character, in that he behaves as a few most certainly would, with utter disbelief, shock, and also borderline horror at the 'backward' Narnian reality, as well as forever questioning and assigning his own ideas of the motives and aims of his fellow crew.The trip sailing East, allows C.S. L...

A different formula (which sadly didn't work) for Edmund, Lucy, and Prince CaspianPrince Caspian, in a large ship called "The Dawn Treader", is out looking for seven lords who were dispatched by King Miraz during his reign. In this quest, Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace (Edmund and Lucy's cousin) join along for the adventure.Pros:*The reader revisits some characters introduced in previous Narnia books.*Eustace. This character was constantly complaining. Additionally, his name kind of sounds like "usel...

For some reason I enjoyed this the most of all the chronicles so far. It was I felt the "best" story, certainly (for some reason) the most emotional. Although there were few talking animals compared to all the previous books, there was the glorious Reepicheep, and he just steals the show.The tension builds all the way through as Prince Caspian aided by Lucy, Edmund and (useless) Eustace , together with his loyal crew and Reepicheep hunt the seven Lords banished by Caspian's evil Uncle Miraz..Wit...

This is my fourth journey into the fantastical lands of Narnia, as I have chosen to read the series in chronological rather than publication order.This started rather poignantly for me, as the story opens with two of the Pevensie siblings returning to Narnia, with their cousin Eustace in tow. Without the elder Pevensie children I initially felt like some of the earlier allure was lost for me, as it acted as a reminder that we all reach an age where we grow up and magic refuses to become a possib...

“Adventures are never fun while you're having them.” The pace of this book was kind of slow for me, I spent seven days for the first half of this book. Then when the adventure comes, everything just gets better and better. I enjoyed how The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe vibes, even though it reminded me of some parts of Pirates of the Caribbean. “One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.” The ideas were flowi

"Please, Aslan" said Lucy, "what do you call soon?""I call all times soon", said Aslan *note: a review of this whole series is up on my channel!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYscl...I am reading this series in publication order (yes, I know, I am weird), which means this was book number three for me. Also, I haven't read it as a kid, so this is my first experience with this classic. I liked this one more than number two (Prince Caspian), and this might very well be my favourite book so far. I

Isn't growing up a drag, not only do you have to trade in a 3PM school day finish for a 5PM work day finish you also get too old to enter Narnia. I call age discrimination!I'll be interested to see how the last two books of this series go without our four base characters. Peter, Susan, Edmond and Lucy, it been the fabbiest hanging out with you guys. Alas, you get old and no longer eligible to enter Narnia, is there no justice? Enjoyed riding the waves in this book, by jove we had an adventure!3

My BFF thinks this book is boring ... but I disagree. I really love it. All of the little islands they visit hold an amazing story. I just can't believe the movie wrecked this beautiful adventure so!~Kellyn Roth, Reveries Reviews

Time for a Christmassy reread :)Review later

Read this aloud to my kids. It was always one of my favorites of the Narnia books, I was always fascinated by the dreamlike quality of the ending and the different islands they visit. The one thing about Lewis is that you'll be going along, reading about a pool of water that turns everything to gold, or an island full of one-legged dwarfs who got accidentally turned invisible, and you're like, what fun fantasy this is! And then suddenly there's a Lamb offering the children grilled fish that was

Such a rich fantasy adventure full of unforgettable episodes - a boy-dragon, a Midas pool, invisible enemies, little Sea people, a fearless mouse, an enchanted table, the island where dreams come true and more. And above all Aslan. Truly a pleasure to read to my young children.The most unforgettable scene in this (and so worth remembering) is when Lucy magically overhears her friend gossiping about her and how that irrevocably changes their relationship - a thought-provoking reminder of the effe...

I read this as a child. The end of this book with it's end of the earth myth expanded my mind back then. I really enjoyed Reepicheep. He was unexpected. The two older children- Peter and Susan were not in this one and I thought that was sad, but it still works out. This is a good series and a quick read.

I knew that the new film version of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was going to be bad. I did not know that it was going to be that retarded that I'd question my faith in my own taste. (Not that I don't like retarded stuff. But boring too? Ouch.) Was the book that bad? I don't remember all of it. It's been years since I've read it. Lauren, you're never picking the movie ever again.A video game version of the movie would be better than the movie. At least it would be more difficult! What the fuck...

This book was and one of my favorites in the series and it contains one of my favorite fantasy scenes in the entire world of fantasy.Seriously, that scene was one I loved to reenact at every beach and pool. As recent as 2018. I am not ashamed to admit it. It's so much fun. Of all the trips into Narnia, it's definitely the best.Anywho, about the rest of the book. I loved the introduction of Eustace and although his character arc was a bit contrived, I still enjoyed it. As for the biblical allegor...

Having read the first book back in Christmas and feeling confused about the reading order I'll say that this was a very enjoyable and easy to read children's book. I'm still struggling to find out who the reading order of Narnia is. I've seen that this is either the 2nd or the 5th book but then again I've seen it being named the 3rd book. I'm just going to read it however I want and hope it'll all be fine. At least, I don't there was any missing detail from the book, so that must be a good thing...

I liked the humor with the Mouse Reepicheep, especially when he defended himself while being swung in the air by his tail. I enjoyed the quick wit of King Caspian, how he had a response to Eustace when he told about his big ship back home. The English is a bit harder to read in some chapters of this story. I haven't read many classics for this reason and don't get me started with Shakespeare because I don't understand the written language in it at all.
This book started with Eustace Clarence, Lu...
